The real heroes in this fight so far have been the men and women attending those Town Hall meetings!🔥
Small town Oakley KS is a lesson for all of us!
Jeb Bush presents….Real American Heroes…. 🎶Real American Heroes🎶 Here’s to you, Teresa Borrenpohl…for showing up at that town hall meeting and making Republicans scared to ever have one again…
Absolutely! 100%
And they will be the ones that end this madness if there is ever an election again. Trump told you what he wanted on “Day One” !
Anyone who is doing anything to fight fascism is a hero in my eyes. Do what you can. Even if it seems small and insignificant. Even informing a coworker as to what's going on is a big help. Everything counts.
Line those street with protest signs every time you see a parade of black limousines. Except the ones with hearses.
That seems to be what's happening. People made sure Vance had a miserable ski vacation. That was awesome.
They are overcoming the easy psychology of going along with RESISTING to RESIST. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
Luigi was the real hero those meetings are great and all but without luigis it's not going to change anything
They can be easily pleased by Trump and Elon. It's a very simple strategy: take two steps forward and then one step back. That one step back will satisfy the people at the town hall, and they won't realize that there were two steps forward.
💯
No one in this administration deserves a moment of peace. Don't give it to them. Call them out.
Yes! I have been badgering my Senators to get with it! I am in a very liberal state with a lot of "red" counties. There are plenty of places they can hold Town Hall meetings!
Scalise doesn’t have town halls.
Highest kudos to all of those people
Mine won’t have a town hall. She doesn’t even have the balls to respond to emails or calls. Several local political leaders are organizing protests at her field offices.
It is nice to GOP voters get angry at their reps. I sincerely hope that gets those people thinking about their options here.
YESSS!
Thank you! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is how it happens. It’s bubbling up from the people. And that’s the only way, really.
Yes. Never back down. Keep on going to them & show your fellow americans just how CHICKEN these republicans really are. They can't even face their own constituents! They don't deserve your loyalty. VOTE THEM OUT!
Agree. A big thank you to all reminding the GOP of WHO they are attacking =how blatantly corrupt &💯wrong. >>working Americans targeted & injured by Musk-Trump (>>>>>>> MILITARY VETS=primary🎯)= for THEIR mega wealthy's >>>>>>> profits. Thank you for 📣speaking for US. www.newsweek.com/texas-republ...
A lot of them voted for this
And standing up to $180,000 p.a. socialised 'cripple' vigilantes, if they can come for her, they can come for you.
The people attending town hall meeting in red districts voted for Donnie von Shitzinpants & the MAGA people representing their districts. THEY ARE NOT HEROES! Not now, not ever. They knew what they're voting for, and they got it. Those greedy fucks are just pissed because it's happening to them.
I was at McCormick’s and none of the people around me were MAGA. The local Democrats did a great job of getting the word out.
And those protesters in Vermont.
I'm still trying to get Jamie Comer to do a town hall. I have an online petition and we've been going to his Paducah every Thursday. No response. A guy that writes for the AFL-CIO newsletter has done a story about it. He wants me to wear a chicken suit to his office. I just might. 😂
If it weren’t for Elon Musk, they’d be cheering on everything else Trump is doing. Believe me they’d be in heaven.
💯......THANK YOU
will they vote dem next time? not likely
The cowards still have to sing for their supper 💰. Protests outside fundraisers and the local GOP meetings may be effective.
Our guy doesn’t do town halls…. Not living in our state probably makes it difficult 🙄
Proud to say I went to one to boo my senator and the dude left after 20 mins when pressed about DOGE. I spent longer in the car driving there than he did answering questions. Marshall is a coward!
I bet it was worth it to see him in a panic! 🤣 wish I could do the same and back home I could but I’m in northern Cali
Huckster hawley doesn’t even live in MO & I’m sure schitty Schmitt won’t have one. I’ve been calling them regularly.
Stay on them. I leave a message or email them once a day. Actually a great way to vent in the morning 😂
Cathartic I bet, I know my BP skyrockets as I’m leaving messages I’m so damn mad.
Mine was higher than ever at my doctors visit. Trump is making America sick. My husband can’t watch the news anymore going a step further than me-I stopped watching during trumps first term but I get the AP and keep up online. That way I don’t have to hear trumps voice as much. Can’t stand a liar!
Wearing the people down is their goal.
I relate to this. I can’t watch the news at all. Gives me a stomach ache and makes me depressed and angry. My husband is having nightmares. I bet online mental health counseling is a good business right now.
Bullshit. They’re just mad the leopards are eating their faces along with those who they elected promised
"Do your job! Do your job!"
Bravo to them. Vermont did its job too!
Yep. And women in office.
How does a person find the town-hall meeting events (I know congresspeople have been canceling anyway)? Asking for a friend (shh. Asking for myself.).
Go to their web pages and sign ip for their newsletters
Yes!
And protests!👊🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏

Except they voted the R’s in…
It has to be grassroots. No one else is saving this country
This is all internal. We're all watching you all do nothing! My people fought the army over a golf course. It's odd to watch you watch your country fall apart.
We shouldn’t be leading this uprising. Our elected representatives MUST be the ones who are front & center. They are MIA right now, & have been for MONTHS, while DC is quickly being destroyed from within. WHY WON’T THEY SAY SOMETHING, ANYTHING?? I just don’t understand it unless they’re complicit.
The only good news I’ve watched this week are clips of Republican town halls
I was at McCormick’s town hall in Roswell, Georgia. He deflected and danced around some of the questions, refusing to answer anything about the tax cuts. He is a co-sponsor of the SAVE Act and said he didn’t even know what was in it!
The SAVE Act is horrible! It will make it harder for everyone to vote, especially married women who changed their last name when they got married.
I was there, too! High five!
Exactly all are HEROS for showing up and asking the tough questions!
And that is why you won't see anymore town hall meetings.
This was at our “democratic” congressperson @repsuhas.bsky.social first town hall in Leesburg. He voted for Laken Riley and ICC Sanctions and told us he can’t do anything because we don’t have a majority 🤷♀️
Oh, you mean the "paid troublemakers"? 😆
Or protesting
Absolutely!
And Vermont. They were fabulous this weekend
And ppl on the side of the roads protesting- especially Vermonters!!
Remember, we're not stuck in here with them. They're stuck in here with us! We're ready to fuck shit up if it comes to that, and they know.
Absolutely! If the maga politicians are not too scared and actually show up to future town hall meetings, they will be seeing much LARGER crowds...
And the #Sugarbush snow reporter.
Don't forget @repjasmine.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social Janet Mills, Gavin Newsom. Im forgetting some amazing women and POC I'm sure.
A lot of Democrat politicians should be treating those townhall meetings as instructional videos.
Um how ‘bout the dude in Vermont whose sign read, “JD skis in jeans” ? 😂😂😂
That made me laugh!
And now Trump is lying and saying they are paid actors🤬
You mean the disillusioned members of a cult who got into this mess to begin with? Yeah.
I was at McCormick’s, and none of the people around me were Republicans or MAGA.
Where was that?
Roswell, GA. The local dem groups did a great job getting the word out.
Yes. Standing ovation for all of them.
More of this...
Rep D- Tom Suozzi of NY Townhall clip www.instagram.com/reel/DGrsNWw...
standing ovation 👏🏼👏🏼

Can we stop licking the boots of the American voter? This is all their fault. They did this. The literal least they can do is get slightly miffed and inconvenienced at a town hall. This is all your countries fault. Shame on all of you for normalising it.
My congressman too big of a coward to have an announced open town. Just the phone in kind with everyone but him muted. No surprise.
... and the children ... Schoolchildren walk out of Pete Hegseth’s speech in DEI protest.
I would have been at one, but the fucker canceled and went to a fund raiser across the state instead.
We’ll take it but also would’ve been nice for ppl to see this catastrophe coming from miles away a few months ago!! Or even better 8 years ago
Here in FloriDUH, we can't get Greg Steube to hold one. Call, post shit on his FB page, etc. It's Maga Hell. Joe Gruters, Rick Scott, Gov. Desatan... They can't hear us. They're all up Trump's ass.
It was always going to be us. An empty suit isn’t going to show up and save you, there’s no black SUV coming to arrest the opposition. We will fight inch by inch, block by block, acreage by section by country road… resist
And Vermont
Representative democracy has failed us. #3e #bindingchaos
And other protests. Doing my part. Did Tesla protest Sat and have Mon and Tuesday events lined up. Met very nice like minded ppl, everyone should do what they can. Also 5Calls app.
Those aren't heros. Those people are simply idiots who voted maga and are now regretting it. Fuck them. They deserve all the misery coming their way.
I personally know an older liberal couple who went out in bad weather to speak out at a meeting.
Great story, but most of the videos I’ve seen are MAGA asshats finding out that they were too stupid to listen to us. They deserve all the terrible things that are going to happen to them at the hands of their own party.
Especially the ones who voted for him.
Agree. and those hearty souls who have attended the 50-state protests.
Fortunate enough to watch many and let's kir Vast majority of the people attending and speaking up are women #StepItUpFellas
You mean the people that voted for this? The people that wouldn't listen? They are not heroes. They just found their FAFO moment.
🤟💪👏🇺🇸
Free speech is the dictator’s worst nightmare. You will go to prison in Russia if you call it a war.
You said it!
Hero’s??? You guys elected him. Where were the hero’s before? Trump told you what his plans were.
Not sure they need burden of being a hero But damn they were heroic … and spreading the courage to stand up too Ps…lots of heroics from lawyers and journalists and judges and people in Vermont and at tesla protests
Montana! They are pissed indeed
Absolutely!
The villains are the Maga reps, not listening and avoiding their constituents questions.
Yes!!! 💗
They’re the trump voters who are finally realizing that he doesn’t care about them. I have a hard time feeling sorry for anyone who voted for him, but I am glad that they’re speaking up at the Town Hall meetings. We need more of that.
Don't forget about the great folks of Vermont!
We need more of this!
They say all politics are local. I applaud those people, and appreciate your prompt. 👍👍👏👏👏👏
💯 💙💙
Some buhs in townhalls. Good luck with that.
Amen to that!
The enraged Republican meetings are especially delicious to read/watch😋
Amen. They are bringing the message home
Agreed and thank you all
Why isn't JD Vance wearing a suit on the ski slopes. Is he disrespecting Vermont?
And the pols who show up
And that’s why the GOP have been told not to have any more.
And the Vermonters who showed up to tell Vance that he can enjoy his ski vacation when the rest of America can enjoy our democracy, and the people protesting outside Tesla showrooms and in support of Ukraine, all across America.
Can’t because Juan Ciscomani has no courage!
I was at one in Chesterfield for Rob Wittman. It was Mobile office hours not a TH. They have now removed my area as well as Williamsburg from his website and called us paid protesters. People were crying sharing their stories of being terminated and fear of how they will pay for assisted-living cost
There’s too much being shared on TikTok and IG for people to believe the lies that they’re paid for, so I have hope people will see it for the lie it is
I guarantee that nearly every senior citizen is afraid for their social security. They aren't all on TikTok but they were loud and clear at town halls in my area.
I’m definitely concerned for older people like my parents who live in an info bubble.
When Trump is saying there are paid actors that attend these Town Hall protest events he is telling you what he would do & does. He paid a lot of people to attend his events.
💯. Every lie is a projection.
So true. Absolute heroes. Also don’t forget the protesters. Police brutality is a real threat, yet they take on the risk in order to fight for democracy. I’m going to the 50501 protests tomorrow 3/4 and on 3/7. Who’s with me?
Yes, inspiring.
It’s giving me hope
I was at a townhall, didn't get paid 👀 Where's my compensation? Anyone have the phone number to call? Lol
Power of the purse! Buy nothing! Support NO corporations who support GOP or TRUMP
And the demonstrations. Tesla dealerships, ski resorts, Federal offices, etc.
Now that the way we have to get this done
💙✊
🫡🫡🫡
AND the anti tesla rally's.
Facts. I can’t believe nobody defended that woman being removed by plain clothes brown shirts…
Amen!
Absolutely
Agreed. Of course MAGA is convinced they are all democrats. 🙄
paid dems at that.
Right On! That's why they will cease to be had by the MAGAt Congress members. They will have to be dragged out of their Sanctuaries to be seen face to face. Such Cowardice!
Hi Mr. Hopkins, I’m Zach Kahn, a high schooler from Charlotte. I started a petition urging Sen. Tillis to hold a town hall—he supports Ukraine but won’t address Trump’s Russia rhetoric. It’s gained 600+ signatures. Would you be interested in promoting this? Let me know! www.change.org/tillistownhall
Yes!! And they are very informed!
Absolutely. Make yourself heard.
You mean the same people.who voted these idiots into office? They're not heroes. They got us into this nightmare.
republicans in those town halls meeting created that mother fucker trump they ain’t no heroes The bullshit is in their faces now they got no choice but to smell and taste that sht Let em eat sht and every person actively against Kamala
Exactly. No notes.
We the people.
Oh yeah!
🔥
Not so much the Dem Leadership and lack of it ..
Absolutely! Keep up the fight! Make good trouble.
Yes and many are the fools duped into voting for a fascist and now seem like they’re beginning to comprehend a social democracy! Roads Fire services Police Social security Healthcare Consumer Protection Public health Universal education Safety nets Environmental Protection
Absolutely.
👏👏👏💥
Yep. If it wasn’t working then this lie wouldn’t have been necessary.
Landslide? Bahahahaha
I'd go to one if my chicken shit rep would hold one!
Scott Jennings thinks they're fake disruptors . @scottjennings.bsky.social
Disruptors? Is that a Star Wars thing?
Bless your heart. @scottjennings.bsky.social
Isn’t that Southern Slang for “go fuck yourself”? You’ve got the wrong guy. Bless your heart.
They have given me so much hope
I think town halls are already ceasing to exist. Too much negative publicity. 🥵
Truth! Let freedom ring!
Our representatives in Ohio won't have any town halls because they are cowards.
If my rep would hold a town hall meeting, I'd be there and I'd have some serious questions. But, Loudermilk is too much a coward to show up.
Yes - well done to them! Keep it up and hopefully it inspires many more to do the same
And protests !!!!!!
100% the warriors
Amen!
Makes us feel better but it didn't move the needle not one inch and now we got Putin in The Matrix
Are they, tho? These are MAGA people complaining to the manager en masse that the dystopian revenge fantasy they ordered was wrong. If these same people were profiting from Trump's destruction of our society they wouldn't say word. These are useful idiots, never forget that.
I was at Keith Self’s in Wylie, Tx. I’ll probably call his office tomorrow to thank him for not canceling. They need to keep listening to us.
And the AltNationalParkServi ce
I still firmly believe we Don it have a firm grasp of what’s really going on in America and what exactly we’re fighting. And that’s a problem.
NY Congressman (Rep. Garbarino) hasn’t even done a town hall and won’t even return phone calls.
#Taxpayers #Veterans #Seniors #BabyBoomers #Women #MiddleClass #ItsTheEconomyStupid 😠 #DemandYourTownHalls
It’s certainly not any of the cowardly Republican politicians. They should be ashamed for so many reasons.
The ones speaking out against the tyranny, not the ones applauding as their neighbor gets dragged out.
Yup and how do we know it works? Hump spews about it on social media. Says, “It’s not gonna work” Wah fucking wah! Every time he throws a mantrum, we know his thin skin has been punctured.
I almost want to sign up just so I can cancel it 😂
except they created this problem by voting for hate, they're just upset they're included.
But they voted for Trump.
#this
Effectively bolstering the stomach for overthrow. Depose Trump, prosecute the Reichists.
Truth
If Senator Marshall went a little further west he’d be in Colorado.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I can’t believe how many are their on voters! I guess if you chip away long enough the cliff will fall! You know after WWII Republicans lost so much and 40 years of holding house and senate. Time for that again!
At some point, a charismatic leader is going to emerge from one of those, and within a couple of years, the Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumers of the world are going to be wondering how they lost their party to that person.
RIGHT ON!
Um, no, not really. Those are Republicans who didn't listen and now regret their vote. They are cleaning up their mess, but they don't get to be called heroes.
Agreed!
Each resistor is another everyday hero, an ordinary miracle of democracy rising each and every day.
Contrast that with congressional town halls circa 2009 (the year of Obamacare debate), with Tea Party activists arriving armed. We are not the same.
Yes! I hope we continue to see more real heroes standing up !!
Indeed, the media were no where when 5000 marched in Denver yesterday
The Revolution will NOT be televised. Most definitely not.
youtu.be/kZvWt29OG0s?...
PS. Thank you for posting this. Very inspiring to me.
The Black people understand because they have to fight for the American ideals every GD day. Everyone else definitely asleep but many are waking up…finally. It’s the real meaning of woke. That we are being robbed of our way of life.
Scared shitless cuz they know they been milking the wrong cow way too long.
