Twenty Seconds At A Deep Red Town Hall

It was just a few years ago that Republicans were showing up at townhalls, school board meetings, and almost any other public gathering and going on long winded verbal benders about the threat of DEI, parents choice in schools, masks during COVID, and trans kids in sports.

If you went to a town hall or local government meeting, there always be some of these people in attendance holding court and letting other citizens know that these were the real threats to America in their minds.

They were promised that Donald Trump would save them from it all, but now that Trump has returned to the White House, something fascinating is happening.

There are different chants at Republican town halls.

Rep. Mike Flood in Nebraska was making the usual Republican case for cuts because America can’t afford anything in the view of Republicans. What House Republicans never say is that these unaffordables all involves programs and services that they oppose.

Rep. Flood asked the crowd at his town hall how the country should pay for for services, and he got an answer that he wasn’t expecting.

The crowd loudly chanted, “Tax the rich,” over and over again.

Flood was also booed and jeered.

Earlier in the day, some of his constituents protested at Flood’s office in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Flood constituent Larry Zink said, “I’m out here because I’m concerned about our democracy. I really feel that our representatives in Congress are not following through with their responsibility that they took when they were elected, and they took the oaths. There’s a democratic process for modifying our government institutions. Congress has a major role to play in that, and they’re just totally abrogating that responsibility.”

There is something happening in the country. It is not red and blue, but billionaires versus everyone else, as we will discuss below.
