Van Hollen and Booker showing how representatives in government should be working for their constituents. I hope their aim is to be as annoying as possible until something good comes of it, but I worry Bukele will just arrest them and further erode the numbers we have in Congress.
Ya if I was a senator, I would probably be visiting my republican colleagues districts. I encourage people to bring the protests directly to their representatives houses. Protest their free movement.
My protest sign is a picture of the Jan 6 gallows. I am calling up my Republican senator every day and letting him know that we are very angry and aware of what’s going on.
I want my legislatures legislating that’s my idea. I want them forming voting coalition in the house of Congress to stop this madness. They are not that many votes. There is no chance in hell that all 300+ Republican Congress people are in on this grift. there’s no way they have the strength to continue this grift if their houses are under siege by angry mobs
This is a rather naive understanding of American politics. Yes, they’re all in on it. Stopping hoping for the nice Republicans. They don’t exist. They’re all fascists.
Your suggestion is to keep trying to appeal to the better nature of Republicans. That’s exactly what the Democrats have been doing for the past decade. Hell, it’s what they’ve been doing since 2009. It doesn’t work. They don’t have a better nature. They want the fascism.
There is NOTHING Democrats can do in Congress. Trying to protest to Republican politicians directly isn’t going to get them to change their minds. Van Hollen did more in a single trip to El Salvador to resist the fascists than anyone has done in Congress in 10+ years.
Well, if they’re all fascist, then the 70% of Americans who did not vote for this shit need to drag them out of their office and hire someone who’s not a fascist. They are not afraid of the people who are in the communities they represent. And look at you you don’t instill much fucking fear. So maybe we should be focused on targeting the fascist where they live and work. Instead of ya know what ever it is we’re doing to make the next feel good headline about how we’ve slowed the fascist onslaught by a couple inches hooray
You are really just completely missing the point here. Motivating people to get out and join me in the streets is exactly what all of this is about.
no I think you’re missing my point when you guys are done taking pictures. Let me know when it’s time to do a totally legal and patriotic January 6 event. I agree with most of your sentiment and words. I just don’t agree with the action behind them. I want more.
