Yes historically ignoring legitimate concerns from a wide swath of constituents has gone extremely well.

gojiwave.bsky.social•5 days ago

You can fool people only for so long. When they notice they have less food on the table and fewer dollars in their accounts, they will start to ask why only the rich seem to be flourishing.

This is why Maga had to make their movement about hate. If it was just the economy they'd be FUCKED

The crazy thing is that Trump could have just kept all the old Biden policies in place and would be able to crow about "his" economic achievements. Instead, he decided to stick a fork into a toaster.

Hold town halls invite-Dems to speak if you wish. Post the discussions on line, make these cowardly people hear and see what their constituents actually think of their behaviour.
Demand truthful answers. Do they stand by the constitution or Trump? Have they been promised no elections in future

karenmhj.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yes, the way trump wanted to end the pre-vax covid epidemic- by stopping the testing.

meredithjerome.bsky.social•5 days ago

I recommend following Adam. He had a video out yesterday with Tons of information how we can all unite. And honestly as real republican not maga. And someone who is for freedom. He knows republicans and he has a plan. Let’s support him. He’s the only one that is talking about a real plan.

rickb57.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yes, I'm nitpicking. But "democrat" is a GOP/MAGAt contrivance intentionally used to diminish and demean members of the Democratic Party (Wikipedia calls it an epithet). So why would any of us use the slur against our own?

meredithjerome.bsky.social•5 days ago

Keep having town halls. Invite your reps. If They they don’t show up. Have someone talk about what is happening and have someone video it. Speak up. Invite Democrat congressmen and have them talk.

Republicans avoiding town halls can be framed by Democrats as a sign of detachment, alienating not only undecided voters but also disillusioned Republicans.

Then Dems need to have them so the republicans have somewhere to go and complain.

404userunknown.bsky.social•6 days ago

Got them running scared keep the pressure up make them afraid to leave their homes. Make the White House tremble from the marching feed of the free Americans! This regime has no place in the United States.

Chickenshit cowards.

emmyemmylouwho.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yeah, go ahead and ignore your constituents GOP. Dems will talk to them!

pollinatorlady.bsky.social•5 days ago

You know who IS doing town halls? That’s right…Bernie Sanders!!!! @sanders.senate.gov

Isn't that the same reasoning they tried to use for covid?

dynamochen.bsky.social•5 days ago

Hey @housedemocrats.bsky.social

You should be holding Town Halls in Republican districts if you want to take back the House in 2026.

lesleygaspar.bsky.social•5 days ago

they're telling themselves if they squash the town halls it's over? wait till they find them at their state offices, in the parking lot, you name it. people are just getting wound up, and as the damage expands the rage will explode

cozzer-4.bsky.social•5 days ago

The Town Halls worked so the need to silence the public.

bigjgamerguy1.bsky.social•5 days ago

My GOPagandist rep has live reps take calls and as soon as you mention town hall they hang up on you. Real disrespectful.

j-playz.bsky.social•5 days ago

The only thing these people respect are loud angry [white] mobs. If yall want to be heard, you must become the Anti-MAGA. use their tools. rallys. Facebook bullshit. you will never make change posting on SM and waiting for midterm elections.

Chickenshit GOP

pro-democracy.bsky.social•5 days ago

Republicans ended town halls 2016-2020 also. Obviously that didn’t hurt them with their base.

erica-mcg.bsky.social•6 days ago

Time to find some home addresses.

tequila0341.bsky.social•5 days ago

As we all know, angry people tend to forget they're angry as soon as you stop listening to them

So much for ‘Working for the People’🙄

ediblepetals.bsky.social•5 days ago

Do they think no-one is going to notice when hundreds of thousands of people are unemployed, nursing homes and shelters close, special ed is gone and thousands of small businesses close up?

milsma.bsky.social•5 days ago

Maybe democrats should fill the void.

lauradarling.bsky.social•5 days ago

No taxation without representation!!!

anotherotherway.bsky.social•6 days ago

People still need to hold the town halls even if their rep doesn't show. Reserve the space, organize speakers, let constituents tell their stories.

findthemid.bsky.social•5 days ago

Oh yeah suuuure - just don’t listen to the voters then it seems like they aren’t saying anything. MAGA logic is wild yo

wontgobackagain.bsky.social•5 days ago

Like when trump said that if we don’t test for Covid, there won’t be any cases. If you don’t listen to your constituents, there won’t be any dissent. I am surprised they don’t just stick their fingers in their ears and say “La La La”.

staystrong28.bsky.social•3 days ago

My HOR stated he had 34 town halls but I could only find 2 he has been known to hide because he is afraid of his constituents reaction to his job performance

We need to do whatever we can now, before all the guardrails are down and they are free from opposition to impose marshal law

fiberartist.bsky.social•6 days ago

so, the "official" believes the best way to end the DOGE "narrative" is to stop LISTENING to the people who ELECTED the official rather than doing something to STOP DOGE.

jafedorko.bsky.social•6 days ago

YES! Once nobody can talk to their Congresspeople the issues they care about disappear like MAGIC and they forget ALL about what got them so angry!

We are blessed they are this deep into their own rectal cavities …

tigrismus.bsky.social•6 days ago

Charlie Kirk moans about "activist" judges thwarting the "democratic will of the people" when unpopular Trump/DOGE crap is stopped. I guess you can claim the "democratic will of the people" is whatever you want it to be when you ignore all the people

We can meet in their offices! I’m sure they’d be delighted to see us.

tweetfrankie.bsky.social•5 days ago

Gee, they just be getting booed. Or empty rooms. Who would want a townhall with these jokers?

theamericanduck.bsky.social•5 days ago

Republicans running scared.

maryoinca.bsky.social•6 days ago

Okay Dems, start holding town halls!!

THEY DO NOT NEED TO BE IN THE ROOM FOR THE COMMUNITY TO ORGANIZE.

MSM loves to use the softest language possible when running cover for fascists.

sarahb1863.bsky.social•6 days ago

Exactly as I predicted. This is what happened in 2017. People started getting angry & Republicans decided to just cut them off - and didn't change a thing they were doing.

mjz1957.bsky.social•5 days ago

Time for GOP members of congress to show upon missing persons signs, throughout their districts.

If the elected officials can’t take the heat. Get the hell out. They have no one to blame but themselves.

ivylander.bsky.social•6 days ago

When your constituents are saying things you don't want to hear, the solution is simple - stop listening to them.

swampmom.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yup my rep said it out loud / - re: calling his office complaining: you can call someone else who cares because I don’t.
