    Can you explain to me how responding that they deserved it to these people (that probably largely didn’t vote for trump) in the context that they are going to their rep’s town Hall and raising these issues directly is useful? Seriously fuck this attitude.

      I don’t believe these people deserved it. But these people aren’t “Nebraska”, or at least not the majority of it.

        Okay, but we’re talking about “these people,” not “Nebraska”

            You’re right. That is what they said. Now go up another level. What was that person commenting on? In other words, what was the context for their comment?
