Hot Time in Ye Olde Townhalls

[bobabode]

It's a hot time in the old town hall this week... for Republicans.

"BLACKSTONE, Va. — Main Street USA has some new fixtures installed alongside the quiet antique stores, the sturdy masonry, the bright gas stations, the Baptist churches. There is now the Clinton supporter who had breast surgery six weeks ago and drove an hour and 25 minutes, during rush hour, to be heard. There is the Trump supporter who showed up despite the chemo in his veins and cancer in his colon. There are the teenagers wearing Planned Parenthood shirts, the Republicans who are aghast at the 45th president and the mothers carrying signs that say “Women for Dave Brat,” the Virginia Republican who was scheduled for a town hall at 7 p.m. Tuesday in this placid town of 3,500, a few hours — and a world away — from Washington.
Kimberly Wyman was first in line, eight hours early. She wore a black T-shirt with pink letters declaring: “A woman’s place is in the revolution.” She represented many of the people who would queue up behind her on Blackstone’s Main Street: newly involved in politics, hostile to both President Trump and any Republican who supports him and propelled to action by loose online organizing — such as local “huddles” birthed by January’s women’s march, action plans propagated by the “Indivisible” grass-roots movement and outgrowths of the Facebook group Pantsuit Nation (like Together We Will)."
