I Have Been Calling Republican Congresscum All Day

I told them how angry I got every time they voted to take away my health insurance. I called it attempted murder, and it is. Try getting proper health care without insurance or money if you get real sick.

I told them I would never shoot anyone, but there are millions of Americans who hate their guts for what they are doing, and many folks may not be able to hold it back much longer, like the dude today. When the only thing they want to do is cut a trillion dollars from Medicaid to give more tax cuts to billionaires, and take away 23 million people's insurance how do they expect their victims to react. I told them 80% of Americans opposed their Repeal Garbage and they shoved it down our throats anyway. I said some will likely/undoubtedly react with violence. I don't condone it, but it is not too hard to understand why dude blew a gasket today. Every time a Republican votes it is like a knife wound to someone's family.

I doubt they really give a shit.

They haven't given a shit about anyone but the rich for decades, and I doubt they will change on their own. Their base has been programmed to "hate liberals" no matter what and can not be reasoned with. Republicans have to appease rabid drooling foaming at the mouth inbred scum to win their gerrymandered primaries, and it only goes downhill from there. All the way to hell.

Hopefully someday I won't have to hate Republicans. They would have to change big time for that to happen.

There is always hope.

You were probably talking to a staff assistant or intern - a kid working his/her first job. They're EffieBlack Jun 2017 #7

They don't care if you hate them, but that emotion is detrimental to your mental health and karmic bank.

kill lots of Native Americans.

But on topic, I think that he was more dedicated to the idea of a free nation than hating the English.

'I don't totally agree with violence, but don't be surprised if a few people want to murder you - totally understandable'.

I really doubt they care.

They get their orders from the Koch brothers.

not your enemy. They're not the antichrist.

You said you think you made your point, but what point were you trying to make? You probably sounded completely unhinged to them and those kinds of calls don't make any point to the Member. They just roll their eyes and put you in the "nut" pile - if they don't report you to Capitol Police.
