A number of Republican lawmakers faced significant pushback in their home districts over Trump and Elon Musk's slashing of the federal government.https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/house-republicans-town-halls-blowback-trump-cuts-rcna193766
This is the opportunity for our side to have town halls and help these people vent and give them a reason to vote against every Republican in office...give them a reason to vote for us.

Some party hack decreed that the people
had lost the government's confidence
and could only regain it with redoubled effort.
If that is the case, would it not be be simpler,
If the government simply dissolved the people
And elected another?

Voters in Republican districts should invite their representatives to town halls, then hold empty podium events when they fail to show. Invite the media, too.

Trump won in a landslide and has a mandate.
They are accountable to trump only.
