These townhall meetings are pointless

[Joe Nation]

What I mean is that all these townhall meetings held by Republicans are just a silly penance the right is willing to endure while pushing through their agenda in the service of dear leader. It's a stalling tactic. They clutch their pearls and run away and spout nonsense talking points but have no intention of straying from the path that is dictated by their orange Jesus.
Townhalls may have meant something once upon a time but those days are long gone. Don't get too excited about the MAGA base turning on the people they elected. Their base is irrelevant and no longer needed. These elected repukes are simply taking one for the team at these townhall meetings. Like most psychphants, they don't realize that they too are in line for the same irrevancy they have bestowed on their voters. It's just a matter of time.
I think we have to get past the "business as usual" politics mindset or we will find ourselves on the outside looking in as we become unrecognizable even to ourselves. I believe this monster will require the "pitchforks and torches" approach if we want our country back. It's just my opinion of course but I just want people to realize that we do indeed have the power if we choose to wield it.

1. The people attending care about being there

because they are feeling the retribution like the rest of us. The politicians should be glad concealed carriers are keeping their cool.

2. They aren't pointless.

It causes the GOPs to either run away, gaslight, or claim paid operatives. They are called on their bullshit instead of allowed to spew lies without pushback on MSM.

3. As long as media catches some clips

It is not pointless. There was a town hall here with a chair that had Jerry Moran's picture on the empty seat. It proves a point
