If this is happening in Utah, a one party Red State, this is a major crack. Especially as Mike Lee has been chanting for U.S. to exit NATO since his return from Moscow & nobody said anything. His dogged devotion for all things Trump and Russia didn't cause a ripple. https://www.politico.com/story/2019/09/03/mike-lee-russia-visa-1479983
We must shut down the country on 3/22-23 for 48 hours, and again on 3/25-27 for 72 hours. Stop work as you can, call in sick, take 1/2days off, come in late, take long lunches, leave early. We must work stop our airlines, trucking, transportation and retail and industrial manufacturing.
If the stupid republicans would look past their noses they'd see all the available SOLID EVIDENCE freely available out there to charge, impeach, & convict trumpty dumpty & get rid of him forever!
The Kennedy quote about defying court orders is a good example of how GOP reps can weasel out of some of the blowback - were court orders defied? Who knows? I certainly don't. Let's talk when I see evidence. (conveniently never looks at evidence)
Fun fact: you could only get in if you had tickets and the tickets were all gone when they announced you had to have tickets to get in. Those two thought the were safe by limiting access
Yeah I have to bet I'm kind of confused by this. Trump won by a huge margin. The constituents here absolutely want Trump to do what he's doing. So yes the 38% or 40% that voted for Harris don't but their vote doesn't matter because they didn't have enough of them. And that's just a sad truth
American voters, historically, are both super uninformed and have a really bad case of wanting to have their cake and eat it too.
They want all the flags and Bibles and macho average joes of the repubs, but that's about as far as it goes. They want Dem policies without the Dem associations
what do you mean by "the constituents here"? Like the ones who decided to attend the event? or the ones who voted in November? or everyone who lives in the two districts?
Yeah the ones who live in those two districts. But Utah also voted overwhelmingly for Trump. And they will do it again no matter what he does. I am sitting right now I'm my congressman town hall and she said the Dems phones are blowing up but it is crickets on the GOP's phone. Speaks volume
Well the few hundred attendees who snagged one of the tickets for the event "within minutes of it being posted" are not a random sample of the ~1.2M constituents. That the most politically engaged and motivated people are liberal is good and important, but not predictive of 26 election results
fwiw i do think your rep is probably lying to you. ive seen reporting that gop reps are getting lots of calls, they say they are getting lots of calls, i've seen people post about how they're calling and how the vm's are full and what your rep is saying defies common sense and aligns w/ his interest
Well I can only say what she said. While I am super sceptical and you could be right. That said what I can say is the Trump voters who are bitching about what he is doing said they would still vote for him again.
These poor Republicans in Congress , they are caught between King Donny the Bloated's hammer their constituents' anvil. It's a very inconvenient time for professional moral cowards like them. My, my, whatever will they do?
I’m aware 😊. I’d be very interested in how these would go in the different bedroom burbs: American Fork/Layton/West Valley, for a wider representation. Even out in Tooele or Harriman.
Maloy had a town hall last month in Grantsville. She got an angry reception out there too, though unfortunately it was a very small venue and they didn’t allow it to be recorded.
There is no way a Democrat wins in Utah, let’s be real folks. Dictator Trump could wipe his dirty diaper on John Smith’s grave and the Mormons would get on their knees and give Trump half their salaries in homage.
Oh no, I can hear their whining now “people were saying mean words and mean words can hurt “ meanwhile in Ukraine president zelenskyy visits his troops on frontlines with bullets wizzing over his head. Back to town tears are starting to form
A big storm is brewing. The confrontation is inevitable. Given the speed at which Trump-Musk are moving the midterms in Nov 2026 are too far away
We need to prepare for the fight of our lifetimes. They hold the levers of power, but we have the numbers. Organize, Protest, Resist, Don’t surrender! 💪
even in the reddest congressional districts there are tens of thousands of liberals. it's significant that so many are motivated to show up and that there are no fascists who show up to support the congress people. we're better organized than they are and we haven't even organized yet.
See this map of blue voters spread across the four districts in this map posted by
@mcpli.bsky.social If you’re familiar with Utah, I live in SLC and share a rep with my friend who lives north in Farmington AND her sister in the southernmost St. George!!
My post was more in frustration. It was no secret what they were up to and 60% still voted. What about the point that they are the only one showed up and shouting at them is useless ?
I think they truly are boiled in far right thinking, and running into even standard traditionally conservative voters is a shocking blast of cold water
Yeah. Some kind of feedback loop seems to have happened where maga gave voice to some angry ppl in exchange for decreased empathy. Prob needs a better name than the broke mind virus.
Idk if the libertarian party is even a home for the old school GOPers?
Downtown salt lake has been blue for decades but it gets diluted by west valley and south valley. They had a D Congressman for years before the last reapportionment.
When the center of the districts meet in the bluest part of the state it’s gerrymandered.
Yea I know but I also know Utah isn’t what it was in 2012. You’re asking me to believe there hasn’t been a slide rightward. No district has ever been that blue.
They ain't seen nothin yet. If GQP pols don't start doing their jobs, they will push the desperate voters to a point of no return & it will get violent. Are they really ready to risk their lives for a handful of Billionaires? Or will they choose to stand up for their own families & voters?
I’m so annoyed at all of these politicians that are surprised by their constituents wanting them to protect them and their rights. So few get it. Like even the democrats aren’t united and all scrambling when everyone is saying the same thing.
We don’t want our government dismantled. Stop them!
I guess the Republican Leadership is ignoring the fact that people want them to push back against Trump defying court orders, not sit back and wait to see what happens.
It is as if they don't understand that millions of peoples lifelines are hanging on by a thread.
The people want them to back them
Not that they'll believe me, but Democrats aren't out to get them. They are out there trying to fight for all of the basic needs of the general population. What you end up with after that is up to you to decide. Working together for common needs should be a no-brainer decision.
Oh come on, that’s rich coming from someone from Kansas. Y’all voted for Trump by a wider margin than Utah. Oh, you didn’t personally vote for him? Neither did I, nor most of the other people at the town hall last night.
I don’t understand your comment. Are you trying to argue with me or agree. I know those voters chose not to know because I’ve been fighting with them for four years. You know they all do their own research.
I was saying that the people who were shouting were largely not Trump voters. And even if they were, the “FAFO, they deserve this” attitude is not productive. Be glad that people are angry and want change, whether it’s Democrats standing up and being heard or Republicans with buyer’s remorse.
I am so confused by this photo. Why are both the woman and Maloy smiling? This doesn't look like the stunt (in a good way) someone pulled with Ted Cruz where they wrote something on the back of their badge and flipped it so it was readable after Cruz was already posed.
Her forced smile is what makes this *so freaking brilliant*!
The smile clearly says to me: "I'd rather be punching this person in the face, but instead I'm going to point out her lack of morals compass." And the congresswoman seems oblivious that the shirt refers to her. 🤣
"If you don't say thank you politely, and lick our boots, we have no reason to ever show up to do the job we asked you for, and that you pay us at least $174,000 per year to pretend to do. Oh, by the way, why aren't you dead yet?" 😡
"Kennedy interjected, saying, “Can we have law enforcement come up?” and asked that police begin escorting disruptive attendees out of the auditorium — although none were removed."
Note that the police didn't do anything when the congressman asked. Very important.
Our entire feckless Utah Congressional delegation is subservient to the far-right donor class. We're operating in a barely veiled theocracy out here and the only remedy is relentless agitation. Sanctimonious shaming from the stage will only fuel more pushback.
It’s never been about efficiency. It’s tearing down the US strength, security, economy, health and education for the benefit of the tinpot war criminal and allow the uberrich to pick up assets cheap
The Mormons are a bit of a wild card when it comes to the Trump administration. Very conservative but not comfortable with MAGA & very wary of the federal govt. They are still voting GOP & Mike Lee is full-blown MAGA, but as a constituency, they aren't as much of a sure thing as white evangelicals.
Don't know what you white nationalists are mad about. You got exactly what you wanted. Radical right wing dictatorship. And your orange Jesus helped you rig the vote. The Trump crime family will never relinquish power now. Idiots.
Shame on Americans who voted for a known gangster who’s lied & cheated for 50 years!
Think about Trump's most beloved (disgraced & disbarred) mentor.
When he was asked:
I have a solution for Utah and all the other red states. Grow up. Most voters in these states vote the same every single election, local, state and federal. They laid the egg and now it's hatched. FAFO
These smug politicians are going to get a rude awakening in 2026, if we make it to midterms. She wants to to wait out the process....meanwhile those of us outside the buble live with the consequences.
My thought exactly. I have a dear Mormon friend, and they are not by nature non-conformists. I have seen my friend mad, really mad, one time. I got out of the room.
These are glorious times we're living in my fellow Americans.
Not every generation gets to overthrow tyranny and traitors.
We just happen to be the lucky ones. Call up the militias.
Revolution is the solution.

Hope the ridiculous polls keep them docile and subservient to their Felonious 1st Fascist
All these democracy haters will be swept out of office as they should be ~ start working on your resumes idiot Shitler lovers
💙 Show up!
💙 Make signs!
💙 Bring friends!
💙 Alert local media!
💙 And keep up the boycotts!
They are about to find out the hard way who is the actual people on the government teet.

Salt Lake County, including the outlying suburbs, went for Harris by over 10%.
I'm sure some of these people at this town hall were Republicans, but pretending there are no Left leaning people there is a mistake.

Utah citizens have been fighting with the (deep R) state legislature over its gerrymandering ever since.
A citizen prop to prevent partisan gerrymandering passed, and the lege overwrote it immediately.

Tell her thank you!

Very confusing. /s

They’re angry for the wrong reasons, but they ANGRY!!

Aren't you a tax evader, owe millions?
