    Just a reminder that he, and your local representatives all have offices where they can receive letters, emails, and phone calls from their constituents. If you don’t like that your rep wants to murder babies, you should probably let them know.

      Remember that letters won’t change their opinion, but you have their addresses.

      Republican politicians aren’t that innocent at all after all.

      What’s that going to do? I mean, I’m all for telling off the politicians that represent me (fucking Mike Johnson can eat a dick) but the GOP genuinely doesn’t care what their voters have to say. They locked down their vote by making it us vs them. Their own voters could tell them they’re doing horrible and they’d still get those votes without changing anything because conservatives have been successfully brainwashed into thinking democrats are all evil.

      GOP politicians are in a position where they can literally just laugh in your face about a complaint like this…

        I’ll tell you what, if his office is overrun by mail and phonecalls of angry people saying killing babies is not okay, he’s probably going to lose some staffers.

        You might be able to take a punch, but you don’t want death by a thousand cuts.

          Or lose their salaries, as an employee who could have been doing campaign work is now stuck sifting through mail all day.

          You say that like they’ll ever even see it. 100% guarantee every single one of these guys has an intern or a secretary take these messages.
