    What’s that going to do? I mean, I’m all for telling off the politicians that represent me (fucking Mike Johnson can eat a dick) but the GOP genuinely doesn’t care what their voters have to say. They locked down their vote by making it us vs them. Their own voters could tell them they’re doing horrible and they’d still get those votes without changing anything because conservatives have been successfully brainwashed into thinking democrats are all evil.

    GOP politicians are in a position where they can literally just laugh in your face about a complaint like this…

      I’ll tell you what, if his office is overrun by mail and phonecalls of angry people saying killing babies is not okay, he’s probably going to lose some staffers.

      You might be able to take a punch, but you don’t want death by a thousand cuts.

        Or lose their salaries, as an employee who could have been doing campaign work is now stuck sifting through mail all day.

        You say that like they’ll ever even see it. 100% guarantee every single one of these guys has an intern or a secretary take these messages.

          At that point the goal is to so entirely overwhelm the secretary that they become incapable of doing any real work, needing to wade through mail all day each day to make sure nothing of serious importance is missed in the sea of angry voters.

          If you do it right, you actually waste the time of 2 or more employees on their weekly schedule. It literally costs them money to ignore you.

          Yep, my congressman has 2. Call until they take the phone off the hook.

          Have things delivered cod so they have to deal with that hassle.

          Do the same with food so they can’t easily order it.

          Do it until they quit working for pieces of shit and they have to hire and train more and then keep going.

      What’s that going to do?

      It makes them happy, as clearly their propaganda is working.
