And that crowd was chanting "Tax the rich! Tax the rich! Tax the rich!" That was really nice to see in Nebraska.
Fuck these guys, they work for lobbyists, not the people.
Well maybe Nebraska shouldn’t have voted for Trump.
Well maybe Nebraska shouldn’t have voted for Trump.
Im getting really sick and tired of this rhetoric.
You know that well over a quarter million registered voters in Nebraska didn't vote for Trump, right? Did it occur to you that many of these people in the audience are carrying out a civil duty that's more important than checking a box on election day? Given that fact, maybe you should give them some grace, considering that they're likely on your side? And even if they weren't on your side to begin with, they could be coming around to it.
The fact of the matter is that a majority of people in Nebraska voted for Trump, though, and now they are getting the policies. So they can scream tax the rich but they voted in a billionaire that only cares about money.
They even got a 4 year example of the guy, yet they still voted him back in. I'm glad they are coming around, but maybe next time they can get a little more educated in their views or open their damn eyes.
So yes, it's great but they need some humility and it needs to sting. Otherwise, they just pick R again because they aren't "woke".
True, but they're here now and we can either shame them or we can propagandize to them
Really curious how far your line of thinking goes.
Do you think that the Texas flood victims, in any capacity, deserved what happened to them because a majority of Texas voted for Trump?
This is a town hall with boos. Not death of children. Of course, they don't deserve that. But I do hope Texas Republicans and families that voted for this are woken up from it.
Otherwise, their deaths are meaningless
When we have fair elections without gerrymandering, brazen disenfranchisement scheme, and a system where a simple majority takes all, we can say things like this.
Until then, grouping the entire populace of a state together has a large portion of victim blaming.
Nebraska as a whole is very red.
Too generalized to have a place in the conversation.
You’re MAGA, no wonder you don’t wanna talk about it.
Did he try explaining that those voters gave Trump a "huge mandate"?
If they didn't do enough, or just didn't care to stop it when they had the chance, the consequences are on them now.
