    Here’s the thing I don’t get about this. Let’s say they are Democrats. So what? Like it or not, he’s still their representative, and they have the right to have their voices heard just as much as Republican voters. Angry Democrat constituents in your district are still angry constituents.

    If they think that the town halls are being filled with “Democrat operatives”, what’s stopping them from inviting a whole bunch of Republicans to drown them out?

      Well, he set up a softball town hall meeting in a deep red county of under 3,000 people so he KNOWS those damn demonrats are from out of town!

      Yucca Valley, a republican city where you’d regularly see Trump flags everywhere, trashed their local rep when he came by recently.

      they couldn’t find enough of those people because that many of them (that aren’t pissed at at least something the fucktard, dipshit, and furniture molester are doing) don’t actually exist, and they couldn’t afford to pay enough people or actors to fake it.

        The billionaire party can’t afford this, but apparently George Soros alone has no problem paying “democrat operatives”. If this were the case, wouldn’t these capitalist-worshiping losers be praising Soros for being such a brilliant billionaire capitalist?

          Imagine being the richest person in the world and still not having enough money to pay people.

          the billionaires at the top don’t give a shit about a lowly first-term senator from rural central kansas, a state whose voters have elected only one democrat to the u.s. senate…ever (in the 1930s). the only other two democrats to serve in the u.s. senate, eight years combined between them, representing kansas was even earlier than that back when the state legislature chose them.

        No, it’s not. The loudest dumbest Magas will believe and echo this sentiment until these people fall in line. We’ve seen them bend the truth time and time again like this.

      This is something that is truly baffling to me. Veterans almost universally not only vote Republican but are fervent supporters of Republican agenda and year after year, without fail, Republicans try to fuck them over specifically. It’s so weird to me.

      Already with this term… Veterans are beneficiaries of a shit ton of DEI programs. Like a TON. And they are actively voting to get rid of all of them.

        God, the fucking assumptions people make when they find out you’re a veteran! I swear people will be like, “Ah, a fellow veteran, aren’t you glad they’re kicking out all the trans people?” Wtf, no, you asshole!

          Airport bars are the worst. I don’t know how many times I’ll be talking with someone that seems friendly enough just killing time. Then it will eventually get to this interaction

          Where are you from?

          Sigh

          San Francisco

          Well, let me tell you what fox news told me to think about that hellhole

          Have you ever been?

          Well, no, but

        Also, the VA is massively underfunded because of them, and they’ll bitch about it and still vote for the people who are trying to shut it down.

    It’s obviously a ruse! It can’t possible be that voters are actually angry.

    Now, how else can I make more money for billionares?

    And by far most of these booing voters will just vote for this very same guy again the next time he’s up for reelection. Rural voters have been so predictable it’s why these politicians can just walk away from town halls like this, they know they still have the votes.
