Some progressives are getting the sneaking suspicion they’ve been had. Following the instructions in the Indivisible Town Hall Resistance Guide (and some adorable marker diagrams by Robert B. Reich), they’ve been filling GOP town halls to capacity and dragging out the Halloween decorations for a die-in or two in the parking lot to kill time.
They’re already putting their Sharpies to work for Friday’s town hall/die-in in Missouri.

Time to start painting those cardboard headstones and … hey, wait a minute. That’s the same day as the next major protest march, the #MarchForTruth. What’s an activist to do?
Convenient! Rescheduling on the day of the #MarchForTruth. Note to #CA @marchfeed! https://t.co/zVuzPMc1EE

I was on at 12 on the dot and got a ticket. A friend was too and she didn't get one. How many of those pre-reg codes did you give away?!?!

I am a constituent & tried to register for your townhall at 12:01 & was WAITLISTED. Couldn't get into last one either. 🙁

I hope you don't think stacking the audience with Republicans will help you avoid questions about the Trump budget

Why not answer questions on social media? I'll go first: when will the GOP quit conspiring with our enemies?

Fake town hall for a fake congressman! #VoteHimOut #TheResistance sees you!

If the congressman is fake and the town hall is fake, then the only reasonable course of action is to attend the #MarchForTruth instead.
