re: Rep. Tom Rice Latest Republican Censured By Party For Breaking With Trump

quote:

70% of the voters in Horry County voted for President Trump. The overwhelming number of voters here not only supported the Capitol protests, but they also didn't think they went far enough. Rice can vote his conscience, and the voters here in SC's 7th district will vote theirs. The problem with Washington is that nobody fears their electorate. A good dose of fear is a good thing for politicians.

If the protesters went further, it is very likely you would have plenty of more dead bodies than 5 (that isn't a threat, that just reality gave that it is federal property).

Most Americans do not see the Jan.6 incident as a joke, it is being taken very seriously with investigations still ongoing and while not everyone will get arrested, some already have. The only thing it really did was cement an already divided nation.

Also, why is it so hard to comprehend that you and/or your specific county may not represent the majority of Americans or at least have to reach a compromise in government. Instead of looking at counties, why not look at a total population of specific states to get an idea of political allegiance. 20 counties totaling 10,000 people are still fewer people than 1 million in 1 county. That's why anecdotes (even my own) need to be taken with speculation.
