All of Flood’s constituents were hostile. I wonder if he expected massive hostility?
This constituent at Republican Mike Flood’s town hall last night in Columbus, Nebraska WENT OFF on Donald Trump:
“The president is destroying our democracy by defying the courts and the constitution, attacking and silencing free speech in the media, allowing security breaches, erasing history, using tax dollars and presidential power for personal gains, blaming DEI and using it to discriminate, and promoting eugenics and genocide all while showing signs of cognitive decline.”

SIGNS OF REBELLION AGAINST TRUMP FASCISM:
***
“A large percentage of Americans trust virtually no institutions, their peers, whether friends or family, but trust a single individual, Trump. That’s fascism. If you phrased the question without mentioning the word, you might find that roughly half of Americans believe in fascism. If that’s the case, then fascism is what we deserve.
“Fascism is a religious concept,“ according to Mussolini.
“Trumpism” has become its own religion, where no amount of scandal or immorality can shake the followers. No one is more to blame than the Left, who have spent so much effort demonizing the Right as a basket of deplorables. The Left’s moral superiority complex has alienated people who simply want a better standard of living and because of that, many Americans prefer fascism. I would resort to extremes if I received the same constant condescension from the opposing party.
Donald Trump won the election and it wasn’t close: either many Americans don’t know what the signs of fascism are and therefore couldn’t see how the former president is a fascist, or people know Trump is a fascist and still voted for him. The U.S. has given itself fascism. How will it unfold during the 21st century in a nation built on land of the free? More than anything, I sincerely hope fascism has some saving grace, because, it is clear that our 47th president will be a fascist.”

Lady Liberty’s torch is dimming. Republicans insist that she is fatigued and her fire has been quenched by the caravan of migrants exploiting her generosity. They may seek to close the United States to asylum seekers but conservative politicians are opening up our borders to a century-old European ideology ready to invade our democratic union: fascism.
“The momentum has shifted. President Donald Trump’s shock-and-awe approach to MAGA governance is generating shock and disgust among Americans.
Massive protest rallies brought millions of people into the streets of big cities and small towns in every state on April 5. People showed up for more reasons than could fit on any one of the many brilliant homemade signs.
People were protesting the Trump administration’s lawlessness. Its abuse of power. Its kidnapping and deporting students for disagreeing with the president. Its terrifying practice of abducting people and shipping them off to be tortured in foreign prisons with no chance to prove their innocence.
Many of us were also resisting the senseless sacrifice of decades of common-good investments in everything from medical research to national parks. We were there to protest the brazenly dictatorial demands that Trump has made for ideological censorship of history, art, education and science.
The president’s stubborn recklessness has hit home for millions of Americans in deeply damaging and personal ways. People living financially fragile lives in retirement or still saving for those years have seen a huge portion of their savings wiped out by a pointless and self-destructive trade war.
It has been a lot.
There’s no doubt that the Project 2025 presidency threw the country off-balance with the viciousness of its anti-American blitzkrieg in its first two months.
I’ve heard over and over again from despairing Americans desperate about what to do. I’ve heard from angry people who were anguished that their elected representatives were not using their platforms and power to slow the assault.
People gathered on the National Mall on April 5 were angry and anguished. But they were also energized. They were joyful to be surrounded by so many others who were motivated to turn the tide.
At some point in the afternoon, there was a shift in the wind, and it felt like rain was about to fall. I felt it physically, but also metaphorically and spiritually.”
