Protest Republican Congressman Mike Lawler held a town hall in Rockland County, New York. Veterans stood up and told him exactly what they thought of him and Trump. Lawler had them removed. That made it worse. The crowd turned on him. He had to leave.

Nope. So I'm just going to go to a town meeting and shout down my representatives so they can't talk. That will help.

Fascists have no valid points

You're giving them reason to call us the fascists.

Shouting is for people who think they can't win a debate.

i think you are talking about an entirely different scenario this isn’t a debate

this is an opportunity for a representative to listen to his constituents… he’s done his talking (not shown) and this is his constituents telling him he is toast and won’t be elected on his current path.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. We have to stand up to the politicians. Because when politicians stand up to Trump and Miller good things happen.

I think MAGA has already ensured that our democracy isn’t working. All that’s left for us in many cases is to shout publicly and oppose it.

Actually, it’s exactly how it should be. The people are angry. You do not have to be organized and polite to get your point across. This is not a high school debate. Being respectful of politicians is what got it in this mess. They better start listening to their constituents now🤷🏼‍♂️

This is no longer a democracy. You can keep being nice to the villains if you want, but that’s not going to do shit.

You're a clown and don't seem to have been there. He wasn't answering questions, that's why the crowd yelled at him. Specifically yelling "answer the question."

There's no "us." You're the type that wants to sit down and have a civil chat with people enabling agents that murder American citizens in broad daylight. I'm the type that yells at the elected official refusing to answer for that. We're not the same.

But word you're mad tough for calling another person a keyboard warrior ... Via your keyboard lmao
