Did a little bit of Reddit sleuthing, and it appears that the user lives in Nebraska, most likely in the Omaha area. That would mean that their representative is most likely Don Bacon, though if they live a little south of the city, it's not impossible that the representative is Mike Flood. Still, based on the users activity and the district maps, my money is on Don Bacon.
At least name the rep. There’s plenty of us here who would gladly call them.
I looked up the original thread and given that OP posts in r/Omaha, it's likely Don Bacon but since that's a small district it could also be one of the surrounding districts (possibly even in Iowa)
Iowa has GOPer reps. And they are all fascists.
It really does seem like they are just trying to click bait when they pretend to not want to name the Employer
The definition of fascism is the marriage of corporation and state
This is part of what true fascism looks like
We warned the people who sat home on election day about project 2025 and yet they covered their ears and enabled all of this.
I voted for Harris out of harm reduction with a funeral dirge in my heart yet again voting for neoliberal scum that sold out the country to the corpo Fascists lock step with Republicans for decades, but is this the resistance from now on, or will we eventually stop scolding what is now the past hoping it will change the present or future?
Because it won't. You can't shame his voters, Republicans have been immune to shame since Reagan, and scolding the low information "I'm not political, teehee when's football/Reality Show crap on" people who haven't had anything at all to vote FOR, only against the greater evil for the last 50 years will only make them roll their eyes and remain disengaged.
Either foment hot revolution starting with destroying the capital markets, steal the DNC with a socialist populist as trump did as a fascist populist to the RNC, or back a socialist Party. Everything else is masturbation on a sinking ship with the capitalists tearing new holes every day.
Because either under neoliberals or Fascists, the capitalists are unrestrained. And if the capitalists remain unrestrained, the planet WILL burn in our lifetimes for all of humanity effectively forever, as millions of years is forever to our little monkey brains.
There are microplastics in my kids' brains, but by God let's not slow down fracking in Pennsylvania.
Love your username.
I was told by a coworker, just after election day, that Project 2025 was just propaganda, and that "Democrats have their own propaganda too you know..."
Shit left me speechless. I was just like, let's revisit this conversation in three months.
mine were like yea but the price of eggs
I assure you we now talk about the price of eggs, inflation, and job security daily
and by that I mean I talk at them while they pretend it is all fine
It's a really interesting time right now to talk to them about those egg prices.
I know they're going to stick their fingers in their ears and go "LA LA LA BIDEN" but you can't stop.
Seriously, we're in this mess because they wore us down so we stopped engaging. START ENGAGING AGAIN. We have to make this uncomfortable for them, all of them, they have to identify the correct source of this discomfort too. Stop caring if they scream or whine or threaten to not associate with you or ANYTHING else. We have to start getting some thicker fucking skin.
You know all that shit you see on your feed "Epic leftist DESTROYS prominent conservative!" and it's some select clip of a talk show or interview? You know all those smug "leopards ate their faces" posts that make it look like the right broadly is suffering under its own folly and we all just need to sit back and chuckle?
IT'S ALL BULLSHIT. NONE OF THAT MEANS ANYTHING. We are in the most danger of losing America than we've EVER been in since the revolutionary war itself. The right is NOT running scared, they're not worried, they're not suffering. Not yet at least.
They're celebrating in the streets because they think they're winning. Your TASK, each of you, is to make sure that when it starts really hurting, when their social services dry up, when their VA checks bounce, when their childcare subsidies are revoked, when their food stamps are canceled... is to draw for them a direct line between who they fucking voted for, and what they've lost.
You might think this sounds stupid and obvious, and that's the same conditioning that made you think we were going to win. Don't be naive. Build communities. Get informed. Get in people's fucking faces and who CARES if you get attacked, insulted, hit, screamed at or filmed? What TRULY do we have to lose when we're on the verge of losing everything?
So did you revisit that conversation?
Because I've heard that exact sentence from my buddy, who is from Eastern Europe - still talking about the US. Where did they get that info, I will never know.
And Democrats were warned that they need to stop putting their thumbs on the scale to push the most dog shit candidates that don't promise anything that will help the working class. Fascism happens when democracy is unresponsive to the needs of the working class, and for the last 50 years Democrats have just been great at finding excuses for why they can't do something. Do you think Trump will listen to the parliamentarian if they disagree with something?
Fuck, Democrats have even been voting for his cabinet picks, despite claiming Trump is a fascist. They all voted to confirm Marco Rubio.
Democrats were warned
So, the litmus test of this logic is this: Do we blame the opposition for the Nazi party? Should we start doing that too after 80 years?
Yes, we should, as liberalism works for capitalism and capitalism always leads to fascism. Rosa Luxembourg said it best, socialism or barbarism. But Marx and Engels described the end stage of capitalism almost 100 years before fascism.
It's a concurrence. Who do you blame for the rise of the nazi party: the nazis who kept rigging the deck in their favor and sowing discord, the conservatives who enabled them, the ineffective social democrats whom people were disillusioned with, the people who held out against voting for them, or the people who basically were screaming at the latter three to do fucking something.

Yup, in other words post WW1 German society as a whole. People don't get to blame Dems without laying blame on themselves as part of this present society.
The antifascists are the only ones who weren't partly to blame. But also on a scale of who's most to blame, it's the nazis.
on a scale of who’s most to blame, it’s the nazis.
yup. that's my point, sometimes users on Lemmy (and other left-leaning sites) imply that Dems are much more to blame than trumpists. Ultimately it's the people who voted for trump and then the people stayed at home, and then the Democrats.
With the amount of screaming and championing that the Dems have ignored I refuse to believe it's incompetence or ignorance. This is wilful and active support for the party they claim they're in opposition to.
Cool but I'm actually asking who you blame in the 1930s. In the 2020s I think the dems loved the idea of opposing Trump when they thought it was easy and not when they didn't. But i can also see scenarios in which they acted how they did while hating the whole situation
They're not an opposition. They famously will not act like one. They're complicit. After this loss and the lack of resistance I'm done. I've canvassed and fought for Dems for almost two decades and I could count our number of "Wins" on one hand. What a colossal waste of my time and effort.
Dems/Reps aren't the same because they're just as bad as each other, they're bad because they're both on the same team. The Dems had multiple chances to stop this and actively chose not to. It was a trolly problem with no one on the other tracks.
That’s not true, the professional managerial class (“coastal liberal elites”) that Harris laundered a billion dollars through only to lose and their donors aka the “good billionaires” (words of the new dnc chair not mine) were on the other tracks.
The division is the point
