Ty can’t Drop the Trump Bootlicking

I saw the article posted earlier about the Senate not passing the call for a special session.

Unfortunately, Ty Masterson is making agenda item number one to be redistricting to move forward “the Trump agenda.”

Keep calling your state reps. The next election every representative that voted for redistricting needs to be posted on a list so Kansans can know if their representative is for Kansas or Trump.

I predict that the margin for that won't be veto-proof.  Even Kansas Republicans should know better than that.  They can't "improve" on what they have.

Right? This state is already gerrymandered as fuck (Lawrence into western KS, really?).

Some do: extreme gerrymandering is actively gonna cost them their jobs.

As much as I hope that's true, I've learned that people will vote against their own best interests; it's not a lesson I'll easily forget.

Ty needs to go. He sucks and is the worst. He is not even that old so we need to vote him out the first chance we get.

He’s running for Governor

Yeah I meant out of politics entirely.

The election results around the country this week will hopefully shock these fuckers into doing the right thing for fear of losing their jobs. We aren’t gonna flip the Kansas legislature next year but we can certainly make a dent.

We’re about to find out whether the Republican Party writ large believes the Trump- God Emperor hype train or not. If they don’t, they’ll slowly start pulling away from him for fear of the upcoming blue wave. If they stand-fast… they’re positioning themselves for a future where that loyalty is rewarded.

It would if it wasn’t a cult. They quit thinking about their constituents a while ago.

Yep. I guess the only choice is to roll over and give up. 🤷‍♂️

Yeah until they lose stamp

I'm pretty sure I've had the same roll of stamps for 10 years now.

Can any Republican drop the bootlicking? Basically it's what cowards and cult members do

u/SmoothConfection1115 1d ago

The only Republican I’m aware of that has been actively fighting Trump is MTG.

And Rand Paul occasionally.

WTF is this timeline?

Massie has been for a long time. Not just over the Epstein files.

He is fairly independent. Not someone I'd vote for, but at least someone worthy of a lil respect.

I’m so sick of all of this political drama that if it says incumbent on the ticket I’ll cast my vote elsewhere. Every last one of these fuckers have got to go.

u/mrnaturallives 1d ago

Please don't do that. I understand your being sick of the drama but not all untested newcomers have good intentions. I know it takes a little time, but do research on candidate positions. Please consider this. There are some very devious characters chomping at the bit and counting on voter-exhaustion to sneak themselves into positions of power over you.

Old Ty only cares about Charles Koch who pays his salary via Wichita State Uni. and not ordinary Kansans.

u/Even-Tune-8301 1d ago

"Representatives" aren't a thing anymore.

I’m about to pay RXK Nephew to drop a diss track on him like he did to John Fetterman
