The only thing that will stop these people is an economic shutdown. Complete and total.
They're not afraid of you electorally. They know they have two years to do whatever they want to. The electorate, shamefully, gave them that. Continue the protests, but until this shit affects them personally, they're not going to care.

Why is Vance vacationing? He’s only been in office for a month.

He just tongued the president before an international audience. Anyone would need a vacation after that.

Poor little JD, if you are really doing what is right for the country, stay around and explain. I'm sure your voters will understand.

The party of free speech.
This is fascism.
Blanket pardons all of the January 6th insurrectionists, no matter how violent they were and how many cops they beat.
But protest on a college campus? Expulsion and arrest.
I repeat: This is fascism.

I feel like we're living in an alternate reality. It's like Man in the High Castle but much much dumber. These idiot fucking MAGAs have no issue with the traitorous J6 insurrectionists being pardoned. They'll applaud this bullshit you can bet on it. I don't have much hope that campuses will have large protests. It really depends on what their Tik Tok algorithm is feeding them. Yesterday I had a 20 something MAGA try to explain to me how Russia is the good guy, and Trump is just getting America a better deal by ass fucking Ukraine. I wanted to vomit, but I kindly reminded them that talking politics at work was generally frowned upon.

Where I work I was disciplined for talking politics but the MAGA folks talk it every day. Today they were talking about how Ukraine is the bad guy.

No more town halls, NRCC chief tells House Republicans
Rep. Richard Hudson issued the edict after a spate of testy episodes.Loading…
www.politico.com
"... Rep. Richard Hudson (R-N.C.), the NRCC chair, delivered the message inside a closed-door meeting of House Republicans, according to three people granted anonymity to describe the private remarks.
Trump on Monday dismissed the town hall uproar — much of it trained on the sweeping cutbacks made by the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency — as being the work of “paid ‘troublemakers.’” Many other GOP leaders have adopted a similar tack, asserting that the protests Republican lawmakers have encountered have been concocted by Democrats and do not reflect genuine voter anger over the Trump cuts.
Liberal advocacy groups have played a role in publicizing the GOP town halls, but there is no evidence to suggest they have paid people to attend.
Hudson's directive, while important coming from the House GOP's top campaign official, is not binding or enforceable. Some Republicans said they aren’t planning to stop their in-person town halls despite the pushback. ..."
