U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez castigated House Republicans for pursuing massive cuts to Medicaid "in the dead of night" as a committee markup hearing on the GOP's legislation dragged on into the early hours of the morning.
I think you are overestimating just how much constituents are invested in what their politicians actually do…
Many many many persons feel the side effects, the burn, of their elected politicians deviating from what they hoped. And yet each election cycle, these politicians continue to be voted in.
I mean, they get mad, but mad enough to watch C-Span and make calls…? 😅
I hate to say it, but the system needs to crash and burn for people to wake up. I need and want to avoid that at all costs, but some people… most people… don’t seem to be able to learn without it.
It’s been a slow burn, like a frog in boiling water, with policies mostly affecting younger people. The Heritage Foundation came up with a detailed 50 year plan in 1973 to completely take over the country to make it more corporate and Christian, and we’ve been seeing that play out ever since Reagan.

I guess but it has been many years of them feeling the burn from their own party. Can’t tell if any of them are waking up or not.
Honestly, they’re not.

I believe you’re right, unfortunately.
They won’t. These people wouldn’t care if they were burning alive as long as it meant whoever they hate was suffering even more.
