attendees voted Republican? a little cognitive dissonant if so
The district as a whole voted republican, but the attendees are just whoever showed up to the town hall to air grievances, which sounds like it was not republicans.
At least not only Republicans. Republicans may have very well been annoyed at their party, but “tax the rich” is a very Democrat chant.
It's a very working class ideology.
Last August, I was at a bar, and got into a convo about general politics. I avoided using leftist words, but just started talking about their paychecks, and how their boss always tries to screw them, which led to their boss having undue influence and money in politics...
Withing an hour and a half or so, everyone one in the bar was talking about the same thing: the ruling class screwing the workers.
Only two people were quite unhappy... one I know was a Reich Winger, because I helped compile a dossier on him for local activists.
Fuck around... find out 🤷
