The few lawmakers who held town halls this summer faced voters furious with Republicans about Trump’s agenda and with Democrats for not doing enough to fight back.
With political tensions running high, the vast majority of congressional lawmakers steered clear of town halls this summer. The handful who entered the lion’s den were met with boos, jeers and tense confrontations.
President Donald Trump and the Republicans may have full control of Washington, but protesters spared neither political party. At 25 town halls across the country that were viewed or attended by NBC News this summer, voters pressured Democrats to deploy more aggressive tactics as they battle Trump and took them to task over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Meanwhile, Republicans faced hostile crowds over their support for Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” his nationwide immigration crackdown and Trump’s deployment of federal forces to Washington, D.C., in what he has called an effort to crack down on crime.
He’s doing largely what Project 2025 outlined. I’m not sure why anyone is surprised
It’s because they’re stupid
Legit, something I heard from a trump voter after the election: yeah, I heard about Project 2025 and I hate it. But this election was to get trump into office, I’ll vote against Project 2025 in 2025.
headdesk
and he said he was campaigning on it, why are is his constituents surprised.
Why is the american electorate too dumb to understand both democrats and republicans are financed by the same oligarchs? What’s so complicated about it?
Because political ttibalsim is marketed to keep us from ganging up on the rich. And because the " just following orders" crowd doesn’t realize they’re the ones thtabget left holding bag and their bosses get away.
sports team, celebrity worship was created to achieve the same thing, political tribalism in the early days, those were the foundation.
Yep. Bread and circuses.
Yes they are funded by the same billionaires and will never go against that class. But they are not the same. The latest Republican Party is now so corrupt, anti constitutionalist and working against the people. They are not the same.
Corruption light and Corruption heavy. I have clear preferences if given the choice.
Uniparty, basically, outside of Maga, THE OLD Guard of both parties work together making backdoor deals.

culture wars my friend, the right has the propaganda apparatus set up to say our way is better, there is no other way, oh and “we also want you to LOOK over here and hate these xyz people, instead of looking at what rich people are doing behind the scenes”
“the right” sigh…
If they only would remember this at the next election. If there is a next election…
Dear Constituents,
Until you ignorant cunts stop voting down party lines, you don’t get to act angry, shocked, surprised, disappointed.
It’s the party stupid.
the elected GOP are laughing in the voters faces, because they know you voted for this and will vote for them in the future, no use getting mad now, you brought this upon yourselves. Also the non-voters(those who sat at home out of protest or dint bother voting, or dint even know there was eleciton going on)
