Imagine instead of not being twats, your idea is to just not have town halls cause everyone is so upset. Fucken ostrich politics.
- They've taken the Fox approach: they're all Dem plants/paid actors.
For those of you who don’t know about Chico California, imagine this republican decided to give a town hall in the parking lot of a Phish concert.
That county is a swing county with half rednecks and half hippies. And he gave the town hall by the university.
He chose very VERY poorly.
This dude is clearly a moron.
- Or maybe he wants to be able to go back to Congress and say, "sorry guys, I can't go on backing the fascist agenda, you're going to wind up with a D in this seat if you don't let me vote No"
  Oh wait, Republican? Yeah, moron.
- And yet he was elected...
  
  That's a requirement for conservatives.
- No, he chose that deliberately, probably in coordination with party leaders, to show that not having town halls is a good idea because liberals will just shout at them.
I bet it went just as his constituents planned.
It doesn't really matter, they'll just say "it's ok folks, they were just Democrats, their opinions don't matter. We all know Lord God Emperor Trump The Magnificent is the Most Loved President™©® ever, he made inflation go to -69% and you all are actually given money when you go shop. We can't hold any more town halls though because Democrats ruin them."
Scumbag Nazi. These idiot rednecks that voted for him are about to have their faces eaten. Chico is poor and in fire country.
One of the WORST reps currently serving in the house, but NEVER gets the same amount of deserved shit as he should. I guess until this town hall
And yet they’ll still vote for him and his actions.
- As is tradition, because Americans are fucking idiots just like everyone else.
- Well, the current voting bloc will likely be gerrymandered out of any power they currently have, so he’s toast either way.
Well... not as HE planned. :)
