I never watch local (Sinclair slop) news here in district 11, home to Meadows and Cawthorn, But saw a lead in to the News at 11 that teased about the primarily debate for Cawthorns seat. He was a no show (🤔 but they had a brief shot of each of the 7 or so hopefuls to unseat him. Every damn one was an illiterate R/W zombie that looked like center folds from a Wall-Mart whos who magazine. All trump humpers with the IQ of a single dried up sperm on a sock of Donalds himself. Platforms from the wall, to Hilarys email, to Hunter, to guns and God, to Im not a politician and will thow out the criminal Democrat scum. One fool shouted the favorite mating call, Biden is the biggest threat to the nation, with an evilgelical like hands to the heavens gesture while shouting in tongues and spewing tobacki laced with Covid through the packed room. I will not even comment on the crowd appearance with Cawthorn for President tee shirts, size medium on a size XXXL 250 pound 52 frame with the same hair stylist of Marsha Blackburn. Made Cawthorn seen like a viable seat holder in our congress. We are fucked. And this within the City limits of blue as hell Asheville. They get these fools off the outside bench at a single chair barber shop (Mayberry Style) that sit there everyday, all day, and share 6th grade wisdom they gained from a life within a 75 mile radius and spoon fed Fox News world insight.
How low we have gone to search for leadership.

(8,739 posts)I saw the American dream a possibility. You can be whatever you want to be. I actually thought with the lack of morals and off the wall nut baggery, I could run as a repug and feel intelligent. $175,000 a year and all the free travel perks like MTG, Boebert, Gaetz et al receive, its tempting. And no work, just travel and rant. Easy gig. I am not smart enough to run as a Democrat, at least one I want to be a leader. But, morals, sympathy and a Career in science eliminate me from big GQP donors. Not safe for me to be near any of these mushy, phony humans pretending to be outraged tough asses. I am not opposed to some kind of academic level test to run for the highest offices. Most professional jobs require academic levels for employment. Why not law makers and leaders making a big damn salary? The last president could not pass a 6th grade exit exams. That is pathetic. And we may have Hershel Walker in a senate seat. What a joke of a system. A guiding light to the world??????

(8,739 posts)They represent anybody but themselves. They definitely do not represent progressive agendas and they do NOTHING for the ones putting them there except oppose anything progressive. I would bet not one of those Cawthorn warriors at that meeting, and very many benefiting from Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, have seen his 11 point agenda to end all three. He represents the oligarchs that finance his campaign and stuff his pockets on the side.

They're too stupid to think for themselves and are reactionary, easily led and possess herd mentality.

Thank god the mountains here are beautiful and my off trail adventures have zero encounters with these fools. Too old to leave and I love my tiny home here, so I stay away from the sub human residents here. But damn, look what they dump on the Nation.

(118,282 posts)you won't need to worry your pretty little head too much about my divorce! And you won't even notice when I get caught speeding with a revoked license, because I'll support our hero Vladimir, as he works to smash the Fauci-Zelensky conspiracy revealed in Hunter's laptop! And now my campaign staff has lined up a great group of challengers for me to refuse to debate! So vote for me, Mad!"

(8,739 posts)To my daughters to baby sit her animals. Cawthorns campaign signs are huge 5X4 in living color of his grinning mug, with a silhouette of a wheel chair above his head. Sympathy for crashing his Beamer while during and paralyzing himself under 20 years old. On the sign its says, Text (a number) to vote. Vote for what? Do repukes get to vote by text now?????

(8,739 posts)Primary. We definitely will have a Dem challenger in the general. But Cawthorn replaced Meadows and he beat a career military officer, Moe Davis, with a stellar record. Hate the Dems and you win. Yet Dem policies keep these idiots alive.

Thanks to the likes of Manchin & Sinema, we're stuck with a republicon from that district. The smarmy piece of shit might lose his primary, but he won't be replaced by a "better" republicon.
