How come? It's NOT like Republicans CONTINUE to Block Legislation that would END the Things people HATE! Like the War!
We live near Western NC, and this area was hit hard by the hurricane two years ago, and is still trying to rebuild.
Trump was there a couple of weeks ago threatening to not provide the rest of the Fema funding they're expecting if his candidate didn't get elected in the mid term. Even for the level of backwoods chud that would still show up at a Trump event, they weren't happy with that.
What a way to win the hearts and minds of your constituents… by threatening them.
What a fucking douchebag.
Get ready. After the Midterms, theit next objective is to end elections, because otherwise, they'll be going to prison after 2028. It won't be about winning hearts & minds, it will be about establishing FEAR, so expect not only threats, but vicious violence.
Allegedly there's a cadre of his inner circle that's already pushing to establish martial law and cancel the midterms.
Wouldn't surprise me if that's Hegseth and Miller.
*1, maybe 2 of them will see a couple years of prison.

2029 isn't going to be like 2021, precisely because nothing happened after 2021. The losers who were running the Dem Congress back then have spawned an entirely new progressive movement that is going to be a major influence on the next Dem congress.
We are done suffering the incompetence and evil of Corporate Politicians. If the Corpo-Establishment Dems don't go along with what the Citizens want, they will find themselves in the hole with the MAGAs, being treated the same way.
I apreciate your enthusiasm.
