Angst pervades a pair of Republican town halls — one in Trump country, the other in a swing state

In two congressional districts and vastly different political environments, two Republicans in the U.S. House were met with far different reactions at public meetings they held late last week.

Against the suggestion of their leader, House Speaker Mike Johnson, to refrain from holding public meetings with constituents, second-term Reps. Chuck Edwards and Harriet Hageman went ahead with their evening sessions.

In Asheville, North Carolina, chants of opposition greeted Edwards on Thursday as opponents hooted at almost every answer he gave and chanted outside. In Evanston, Wyoming, at the southwestern corner of a sparsely populated and heavily Republican state, it was mostly Republicans who asked probing questions of Hageman in a quieter setting.

In both cases, voters were curious about the scope and pace of action in Washington since President Donald Trump took office, if less boisterously in Wyoming than the event 1,800 miles (2,900 kilometers) to the southeast.

Moreover, he was a democrat party candidate,over several failed to win elections posing as an enraged MAGA veteran. Total role play performance.

An oldie but a goodie form the AP.

So, we are to believe that Trump’s rating are high but nobody likes those supporting him.

Ok.

Hey, AP, could you get back to the good ole days of telling us how mentally with it Joe Biden was?

The wannabe Bolsheviks will say and do anything to push their agenda. Anything they can get away with. Letting them plot and plan unfettered is like sleeping with a Cobra in your room.

I live in a perpetually bright blue state, and I can tell you, in the meetings I have had in the last several months with other Republicans, there is not even a faint whiff of angst. As a matter of fact, when we get together we almost make ourselves black and blue with all the reality pinching!

This is one of the tactics they are trying to start in the media, and it won’t work. Well, it will work on the media, because they are stupid enough to believe their own BS, and it will work on the Leftists, because, well, they will believe anything that they must believe to make themselves feel better.

But EVERY SINGLE CONSERVATIVE I KNOW is nearly giddy with wondering what the next Trump-Day is going to bring!

Angst, my ass!

Ashville is an cesspool of far left hippies. Destroyed by God last year. Not everyone there is a juvenile in an adult body.

Ashville isn’t the epicenter for conservatism. If anything, the area is a limp wristed art filled dream.

I don’t know why they think this is any great example of anti-Trump sentiment.

Town Halls are cheaper to ‘organize’ and disrupt than ‘million man’ or million woman’ or million BLM ‘burn the place down’ events.

I take it Alex is cheaper than daddy George Soros.

Town Halls can be disrupted with three people sitting in a triangle formation. It makes the ‘normals’ feel like there’s a lot of people against them. Also hiring a drummer can be dangerous because drummers can be traced back.

Preference Falsification. The narrative is to make one believe they are in the wrong and fear professing their true beliefs. Go along to get along.
What we actually have is Preference Cascade. Where everyone can express themselves. Trump broke that mold.

NC voting in a Republican president and Democrat governor is simply retarded. Voting in ANY Democrat after the treatment of Fedgov and the heartless careless Democrats is stunning. Here’s your $750 now bugger off. To this day, with plenty of verifiable proof,those suffering from the storm are living in hell.

It's like Christmas every day!

My condolences on living in a Dem state. We went Trump, and my county was just shy of 70%! I love it.
