Summary
At a town hall in Roswell, Georgia, local constituents lashed out at Republican Rep. Rich McCormick for backing Trump’s administration, labeling President Trump a “megalomaniac.”
The criticism focused on DOGE and its sweeping federal layoffs affecting agencies such as the CDC, Agriculture, and Education.
Attendees decried rushed, indiscriminate cuts and expressed concern over expanding presidential power through controversial executive orders.
The heated exchange reflects growing public discontent with perceived authoritarian policies and the Trump administration’s approach to government downsizing.
I never had any expectations of republicans, so they havent really been any more disappointing than they always have been. Authoritarian idiots who lack empathy (republicans), the rich, and religious facist nutcases have always been with us and always will be with us. They live here too, unfortunately. I did have some expectations of the Dems that have been catastrophically not delivered in the past few decades.
To combat the troglodytes on an ongoing basis we need to maintain a good education system, minimize religious influence on government, and have a robust counterweight to troglodyte greed and self centered tendencies – that resistence is in the form of a robust leftist movement that champions the basic needs of all peoples, not just the privileged or the tribal-clique groups. Otherwise democracy cant work.
Part of the problem in 2025 is that we have demonized, disempowered, and basically destroyed the left within the democratc party, even though their causes are exactly what Dem and Trog people say they want. So now there is only centrism, which is not a philosophy that will mount up and defend anyone against the troglodyte hoardes. Our presidential candidate standing on a stage with liz cheney talking about her glock and saying nothing about a dnc sponsored genocide, or the struggles of the common american people is pretty ample proof of that. They fear the left more than they do the trogs, and they never envisioned that the system could actually be brought to an end by the trogs. School shooting rates have never been higher than they are today. Its not even backpage news anymore for dems. That means something, dont you think?
So here we are, watching it all get burned down with no serious leadership on our side standing up to resist it, beyond what rhetorical scraps bernie can muster, an old man standing on a beach in front of a hundred foot tsunami wave. God knows the DNC dem leaders dont have the will or stomach to lead this fight. They just want to keep getting bribes. They just appointed a new head of the dnc who already wont take a stand on anything and answers in the vaguest possible terms when interviewed. He wants the donation money to flow, not to fight and win a philosophical struggle. He should be working at the DMV, not leading a party that needs to save the US from its own worst tendencies.
(no offense to DMV workers)
Worse. There are dems (or so they claim) that the voices are advocating ‘vote blue every time’ when we call out the sitouts for their inaction, insisting that we not hold them to account for their essentially letting the orange fuhrer back into the white house and handing him the fire axe to take to the country.
These idiots didn’t understand their choices have repercussions on the country and the world and choose to plug their ears and blah blah it out for the next 4 years hoping it will blow over. They earned every ounce of ridicule for not educating themselves about how things work and how their decision matters.
You right the ship first, then fix the engine. Fools.
