Summary

At a town hall in Roswell, Georgia, local constituents lashed out at Republican Rep. Rich McCormick for backing Trump’s administration, labeling President Trump a “megalomaniac.”

The criticism focused on DOGE and its sweeping federal layoffs affecting agencies such as the CDC, Agriculture, and Education.

Attendees decried rushed, indiscriminate cuts and expressed concern over expanding presidential power through controversial executive orders.

The heated exchange reflects growing public discontent with perceived authoritarian policies and the Trump administration’s approach to government downsizing.

    Do they though? A party that enables and empowers the oligarchy will have all the funding they need. Musk donated north of 270 million to Trump in the last election. Similarly most of he rich tech bros donated to Trump’s inauguration fund.

    If they take care of the “voting problem” while in office, they have no further need for their base.

      “will have all the funding they need”. True, though people like that don’t care that they have enough. They “need” more.

        What I meant to say is "Will have more funding than they could ever dream of. " Small donors do not matter. They will happily take money from normies, but that would never change who they work for.
