    Two of mine a MAGA Republicans. One of those participated in Jan 6.

    Another is an alleged Democrat who’s had a stroke and bent the knee.

    None of them care what I think, and have told me so with multiple letters when I’ve contacted them.

        No, they’ll just close their offices to people without approved appointments.

        I know because one of mine is Scott Perry, who did exactly that.

          Some will do stuff like that, and ask cops to clear the crowd too. But we don’t need every Republican to do the right thing. Just enough that they can vote with the Democrats.

            Scott Perry, and probably also Fetterman, will never vote with the Democrats.

              Do you think Fetterman was a phony from the start or is his current positions and behavior a result of the stroke?

                I think it was the stroke and I’m concerned for Gisele’s safety.

                  It is wild how much literal brain damage is on the right. For instance, isn’t Sorbo’s story that he had some fucking illness and came out an asshole on the other side?

          Sooner or later they have to come out.

        The problem is getting an angry crowd. If the majority support it where you are you’re just a lone “nut case”.

          The corporate owners also didn’t expect the tariffs. I think an angry crowd could give them the reason to fight for the constitution they need.

            The tariffs have the potential to create serious problems if they last any length of time. Especially for food and auto.

      Same thing here. Mine is hardcore MAGA and vith Senators are 100% shills. Also no one in my area cares… they all think Trump is going to do a great job and save everything. There are two Democrats in Congress from my state but neither one is capable of fighting anything. I don’t know what to do but watch it burn.

      Yes. The majority of republicans and even some of the democrats are all just eager to get as many kickbacks as they can and then bail.

      But that isn’t the entire government. There are still Democrats who actually give a shit about their constituents just like there are republicans who only want black people to get a little bit hurt. And, right now, the majority of them just hear silence.

      The people who give a shit need to talk to the politicians who give a shit so that they will shout it from the rooftops and others might even know what is going on. How many stories were there about people who didn’t even realize biden had dropped out?

      Because just look at the defunding of medicaid last week. There was pushback and it was dropped immediately.
