    So they voted against the democrats and now they want the democrats to help them… somehow. I really do not get this attitude at all.

      No. Districts are not monolithic. Even the most red districts have a lot on left-leaning voters. It even says in the article that although he went to red districts, it was primarily democrats at the town halls.

      In rural, deep red California, where last cycle a few hundred people showed up at such events, this turnout was historic. I heard from attendees who had never seen so many Democrats gather in their area before.

      This is still very important though. It gives democratic voters the ability to connect with other democrats in their area. Maybe they will now feel less isolated and be more willing to openly support democratic challengers in their district.

      Americans are behaving like children…

      They threw a tantrum because they didn’t want to eat the farina and instead threw it on the floor

      Now they are hungry and complain why is nobody feeding me?

      Ants and roaches are feasting on the mess and Americans cry, where is the maid that hasn’t cleaned this mess up?

      And when pointing out all these problems are of their own making and could have been avoided by eating the served breakfast, they say “not my fault!, why wasn’t I offered the breakfast I wanted? Why wasn’t I prevented from making a mess?”
