Summary
House Republicans face heated town halls as voters protest Trump and Elon Musk’s government cuts, echoing past backlashes in 2009 and 2017.
While GOP leaders downplay the outrage, some members consider avoiding town halls or controlling the format.
Activist groups like Indivisible are mobilizing, pushing Democrats to engage and staging “empty chair” events if Republicans refuse to meet voters.
Despite mixed public opinion on Musk’s reforms, GOP strategists aim to sell their policies, hoping the protests subside before the next election cycle.
Just don’t have town halls, and don’t meet with constituents without vetting them first. That’s what my representative did.
Yup, my R representative hasn’t held a general town hall since 2016, but people keep voting him in! Must not be much to talk about.
Mine will stand at his window watching people protesting him a few floors down.
Fuck Scott Perry. What an asshole.
And because I’m surrounded by idiots he’ll be my representative until I move.
At his window, you say…
These mother fuckers never learn.
They’re paid not to learn. Citizens United would have to go before they listen to their constituents.
They pay no consequences, and most districts are gerrymandered. What lesson should they learn?
For years, Social Security was considered ‘the third rail’ of American politics. No candidate wanted to be associated with denying people money that they’d paid into the program. Trump is the new third rail, because the GOPs know that he’s never going to forgive anyone who crosses him.
I’ve been waiting since 2015 for the GOP to start going after Trump. Let’s see if this is the final straw.
Lol. Trump and Vance just sucked Putins cock for the world to see last week, while cancelling US Farmers contracts to USAID and mass firing USDA during a bird flu pandemic destroying our egg supply.
There is no final straw. This is what we got.
I’m not saying we need to take action immediately. Letting this toxicity stew for a few months is to the Democrats advantage. But the vast, vast majority of conservatives are brainwashed peasants who will not change their opinion.
GOPs explicit goal is to seek control of the majority of the majority of voters, which is only like 16% of people. (60% voters best case, 30% Republicans, only 16% of hardcore Republicans to keep in check). That’s all they need to continue to stay in power.
What we can do is try to split that 16% group explicitly and try to turn them against each other. Farmers who lose government contracts, hawks who don’t want to work with Russia, etc. etc. it’s all microscopic fractions of a fraction of people but it adds up.
Nope as long as they have Soviet money faucet there will keep sucking him off
“Try To Get A Handle On Their Town Hall Problem”…
Maybe stop being misogynistic dickholes, xenophobic returds, climate denying pigfarts, and white nationalistic snowflake narcissistic babies.
Just a thought.
