What do these two things have in common?

[senseandsensibility]

As I've heard multiple talking heads say to Dem guests "it's not just republican reps who are facing angry constituents at townhalls. The Dems are getting a lot of angry feedback too."

There is a common denominator here, folks. The angry voters at the R townhalls and the angry voters at the D townhalls are NOT splitting their anger evenly among the parties. This is NOT another opportunity for corporate journalists to both sides the situation.

The voters at both R and D townhalls want the SAME THING. They want their reps to stand up to trump. So it's not the "own" you think it is to try to use this as a gotcha against Dems. It's a slam against trump no matter how you frame it, and another sign that he is historically unpopular.

1. Always giving in and not fighting for people

2. True. The "Both Sides" -ism of the corporate media is their default...

...and you are right. Both sides in the town halls want the same thing: reign in the Megalomaniac who thinks he is an absolute monarch.

5. We were warned

History is barking back at us. We were warned about exactly what is happening today by the founding fathers.

6. The poll that came out this morning

gave Krasnov a 39% approval rating. "ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll found that Trump has the lowest 100-day approval rating of any president in the past 80 years, with only 39 percent of respondents saying they approve of Trump’s term thus far."

7. And Dem low favorability is because

MAGAts hate Dems, and Dems are mad at the Schumers.

8. Good point

The Dems unfavourability is because of the progressives thinking that they're not resisting enough, not because more people are turning to the R's. Kind of like when Obamacare used to get bad ratings because all the R's were brainwashed to hate it, and the Dems thought it didn't go far enough. But those two groups together and you have a majority.

9. Republicans can actually stop Trump, Democrats can't.

10. That's why they're getting so much heat at their townhalls

(when they show up) but the media has to try to present it as a both sides problem.
