    Read REPUBLICAN lawmakers.

    As people lose money to tariffs, lose their Medicaid coverage, get snatched off the street by masked Gestapo-like thugs and locked up without due process, and become more desperate, a lot of them will want a go at the sonsabitches congresscritters and senators who voted for this shit that’s happening in their lives.

    If I was a Republican anything, even a local politician, I’d be scared right now.

    And you know what? I’m struggling to find a violin small enough to express how bad I feel for them.

      They didn’t care about extra security when the Minnesota murders happened. Evil fucks.

      That Kirk was killed in front of a crowd was for the best, unfortunately. His artery was severed, and he bled out on stage. His death cannot be discarded as an abstraction. He was shot dead in front of a crowd, and it was recorded.

      I live in a very small town, a very red town. The amount of people from friends and family posting rip This means war, etc etc, I’ve already lost most the friends in my life during Trump’s first term. About to lose a few more. wife and daughter are about my only social circle left.

      I have to be very careful with what I post on other social media oherwise I’d most likely lose my job and be blacklisted from the community with no funds to move. Fuck I hate it here.

      I really just want to scream fuck him in the town square

        Right there with you brother. All our town billboards were about Kirk today… Father …husband… Patriot. I never speak politics at work or in social circles. People here assume I’m a repub but the wife and I vote blue in every election. Not that it does any good. Keep on being you on the down low and know you are in some good company.

        You really need to get out of there. We might have to retake that town someday.

          Would love to. My wife and I make more money now than we have at any point in our lives and we have almost nothing to show for it and we’ve worked full time with no layoffs for 30 years and have each only changed jobs once. . We don’t spend frivolously we just don’t save well and when we do it always seems something comes up and wipes out our bank account, health, vehicle, etc.

      Read REPUBLICAN lawmakers.

      That’s so often the case when the “liberal media” uses generic milquetoast terms like “lawmakers” and “Congress” and “Washington”, etc…

      Very often this is a reference to REPUBLICANS, but the media is either nutless or just straight-up collaborating in the both-sides narratives.
