Let's not forget The Republicans in congress.

They made a choice to protect a lunatic who was guilty as hell and should have been impeached. That foolish, incompetent, oath breaking decision has led to the death of over 100,000 Americans.

It has led to economic collapse.

It has led to nation wide protests.

It has led to chaos.

Not only does Trumpism have to be destroyed, Republican ideology, beliefs, must also be destroyed, forever this time. By destroyed I mean, never be allowed to be in charge of our government again.

What gives me hope, the young people of America seem to understand this. Changes are coming, big changes.

Repeatedly. Thee times in the past week, actually. Blackburn sends back the exact same email from a no-reply address every time:


Thank you for taking the time to email me to share your thoughts and concerns.

I want you to know that we read every single letter and e-mail that we receive. My goal is to be as accessible and responsive as possible in order to better understand the issues that are important to you. It is my commitment to respond to your input as thoughtfully and efficiently as possible. In order to best represent my constituents, I regularly meet with my staff to discuss the issues raised in correspondence like yours. We will be in touch with a more thorough response as soon possible.

Thank you again for your email. I hope you will continue to share your thoughts with me.

Sincerely,


Marsha Blackburn
United States Senator


Alexander doesn't even bother with the auto-reply anymore. THEY.DON'T.FUCKING.CARE.AT.ALL. I don't even know what to do anymore. Because the GOP reps just couldn't give a shit about the country or any of us. And the people in TN are still die-hard Trumpers. Most in my area are poor and illiterate and have no clue what they're voting for. They vote for the party who says "Jesus" the most and that would be republicans. SMDH

If nothing else, a lot of calls will demoralize them.

I thought after the disaster of G.W Bush, republicans would never rule everything again.

They have all the money in their dirty hands. They are collaborating with the Russians to rip apart the country. Treason.

They don't have to worry about elections, they steal them. 2000. 2004. 2016.

It's fascist, minority rule.

voting machine hacking practices for so long that getting rid of them is almost impossible. And now they "own" or are owned by, Fox "news", so their propaganda machine shells out more bullshit every minute.

My House member and both Senators are Dems.

I like it that way.
