The correct response is to become so angry you grab your representative by the collar and yell in their face until your vocal chords snap and bleed.
Mine supports all of this, refuses to meet with constituents, and would have me put up on terrorism charges.
Oh, and he’s definitely getting reelected.
I remember going to a town hall with my many time incumbent and saying "I dislike this bill, it's bad for your constituents, here's why, what are you going to do about it". He gave a nothing corpo-political speak answer back at me. He didn't care one bit. He did the town hall because he had to, it's his job. Reelected by a landslide and btw he voted for the thing I was against.
Or, you know, we could just bring back guillotines. Those worked pretty well.
Did they? There's been five "revolutions" since then, and their government is still falling apart. At best it moved the autocracy from one plutocrat to another.
They work for awhile.
But you have to keep pruning the garden until you find a better solution.
Do they work, though? Sure, you don't have a target for anger and hatred for a little while. But if that's your entire focus for motivation, it's just going to fester and rot until another target comes into view. Be it someone deserving or not.
Sadly, I'm represented by a Democrat, so kinda muddling through half-supporting the lighter end of fascism is - I am told - the best they can do. Any effort to lean on the Democrat to move leftward is greeted by local Biden-tier liberals screaming that I'm a Secret Russian Trump Supporter trying to lose the seat in the next election.
Yes, having someone yell in your face is totally a way to get you to think of their argument as well thought and worth considering.
Sucks to suck. Listen to your constituency before it gets here. Serve the people not yourself. Otherwise you're putting your own ass on a platter and I dont feel bad for what will happen when the masses you made wretched come for you. Its a tale as old as time.
You know, I think it works more than you're giving credit. No one likes being yelled at.
It's their job to be yelled at I better fucken hope they'd at least consider it. If not skip to step 2 and bash their brains out using a rock, the slower they die the fucken better.
