      No, they’ll just close their offices to people without approved appointments.

      I know because one of mine is Scott Perry, who did exactly that.

        Some will do stuff like that, and ask cops to clear the crowd too. But we don’t need every Republican to do the right thing. Just enough that they can vote with the Democrats.

          they can vote with the Democrats.

          Didn’t the democrats have a majority a few years ago, what did they do with that and why do you think they will do anything different this time?

            Do you think Fetterman was a phony from the start or is his current positions and behavior a result of the stroke?

                It is wild how much literal brain damage is on the right. For instance, isn’t Sorbo’s story that he had some fucking illness and came out an asshole on the other side?

      The problem is getting an angry crowd. If the majority support it where you are you’re just a lone “nut case”.

        The corporate owners also didn’t expect the tariffs. I think an angry crowd could give them the reason to fight for the constitution they need.

          The tariffs have the potential to create serious problems if they last any length of time. Especially for food and auto.
