Same people will still vote Republican
- You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons.
  
  Legendary quote that's timeless.
Love to see it. Now release the Epstein Files!
Every time the right’s followers complain about what their elected officials do to them as a consequence of the officials doing exactly what anyone with half a brain expected them to do I don’t hear it as a general injustice to society at large, I hear it as “Your’e not hurting the right people!”
They’re fine with wrecking other’s lives, but the thought they’re being harmed or inconvenienced is intolerable.
- I mean, they'll complain, yet will still vote for them because if there's not an R next to the name, they couldn't care less.
  
  I’m a big advocate for removing party affiliation from ballots.
- Whenever I hear about these town halls, I'm really unsure if it's actually Trump voters turning up. Chances are, if the cult "won" they're celebrating and believing every paper-thin lie, right up until they suffer direct personal consequence, not attending town halls with a list of questions and concerns.
  
  I figured the ones who experienced the greatest “injustice” turn up. “You hurt us and we supported you!” Certainly anyone harmed and concerned could show up, it may not be all conservatives.
Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-Calif.)
- Time to gerrymander those California Rs away!
  
  I understand the current context, but I hate seeing people cheering for gerrymandering.
And the crazy thing is they check voter registration and only let republicans into their town halls now.
- That's not even a town hall anymore, it's just an echo chamber.
"We cut our healthcare!" - seems more appropriate, given they voted for this mess.
This story again? For a minute I thought it happened twice this week...
- I'm with you. I couldn't understand why they listed California.
  And then it dawned on me - it's exactly what you said: It's happened twice this week.
"Let's look on the bright side. We defeated wokeness!"
dodges a tomato
- No, they’ll say, “we defeated woke” because they’re fucking illiterate morons.
- And yet they have no clue what wokeness is.
If only that word "combative" were literal
As they promised they would. Yet they voted for it. You don’t get to complain afterwards for something they announced in big bold letters
- No, they should still complain. Not complaining would be worse.
The fuck is going on in the states?
- Right wing fascist takeover. Propaganda extreme, etc. It's going to get way worse.
  They're pushing everywhere, including on you.
  
  Yeah, we've seen it coming for a while but now it seems to be accelerating.
