@JohnJ145949 @McNally4Indiana I saw them on the overpass at Cold Spring Road and made contact with them. They were here in Indy today.

Mind you, they didn't protest another exit north on 38th Street because they're chickenshits.

@HicksCBER He's gonna' get a lotta' buzz from his floor speech. Could be a front runner in the "Not Braun" R party primary in '28.

Lots of Hoosiers on here today wanting redistricting, hating on Democrats, calling anyone who disagrees with them "leftist," whatever that even means. But every time I invite them to sit down for coffee so we can find common ground, they're always busy. Hmmm...

@Echo_Paige1979 @MarioBr99911268 @MicahBeckwith @ScottPresler I'm not glued to the media either. And yet, you assumed I am! We need to do better finding out about one another so that we can live as neighbors. And I feel you on the kiddo front: we have a teen foster child! How about that? Bet you thought I hate kids, too!

[meg1970 @meg1970]

@Echo_Paige1979 @MarioBr99911268 @MicahBeckwith @ScottPresler We could take a walk! I live across the street from a state park! I'm a birder! Do you like birds? We could look for birds while we get to know why you think I should leave my home, my work, my neighbors/family/friends!

[meg1970 @meg1970]

@Echo_Paige1979 @MarioBr99911268 @MicahBeckwith @ScottPresler Girl! I am living my life! Trying to find common ground with other Hoosiers, and especially with ones who've told me I should leave the state! Shoot, I came here on a full ride to college from another state! Y'all wooed me here, and now ya' don't want me!

[meg1970 @meg1970]

@MarioBr99911268 @Echo_Paige1979 @MicahBeckwith @ScottPresler And for the record, I condemn political violence. Charlie Kirk should not have been assassinated. We can agree on that.

@Echo_Paige1979 @MarioBr99911268 @MicahBeckwith @ScottPresler I am curious though to know what you thought of last week's Nazi text scandal with those 30something "Young" Republicans. 'Cuz if you agree with their text messages, yeah, that would make you a Nazi. But I would need to know your answer first!

[meg1970 @meg1970]

@Echo_Paige1979 @MarioBr99911268 @MicahBeckwith @ScottPresler Only reason to call someone is a Nazi is if they're acting like a Nazi. Censoring people and throwing up Nazi salutes is Nazi-like behavior!

[meg1970 @meg1970]

@Echo_Paige1979 @MarioBr99911268 @MicahBeckwith @ScottPresler I mean, Nazis did censor people. And I'm pretty sure this about the time that Elon threw his hands in the air for his Nazi salute. I didn't call YOU a Nazi, nor would I, and especially if we were sitting down together over a cup of coffee to find common ground.

[meg1970 @meg1970]

@Echo_Paige1979 @MarioBr99911268 @MicahBeckwith @ScottPresler I didn't call you a Nazi. I invited you to sit down and find common ground.

We can do that here, too. I'm flexible. Part of the hospitable Hoosier thing!

[meg1970 @meg1970]

@Echo_Paige1979 @MarioBr99911268 @MicahBeckwith @ScottPresler I would love to meet and sit down for coffee. Maybe we can share why we believe what we do. You know, be hospitable and kind as we Hoosiers are known to be!

[meg1970 @meg1970]

@Echo_Paige1979 @MarioBr99911268 @MicahBeckwith @ScottPresler I've lived in 8+ IN counties. Indiana hasn't always been red (or blue), nor will it "always" stay one way. Maybe you should get out a bit and meet your neighbors! -GenX liberal

[meg1970 @meg1970]

@Echo_Paige1979 @MarioBr99911268 @MicahBeckwith @ScottPresler Building beloved community where I already live is important to me! And pendulums always swing! Rs who only care about POTUS and his agenda and not their Hoosier constituents probably outta' pay some attention! Awful lot of rural locals at No Kings marches last week!

[meg1970 @meg1970]

@MarioBr99911268 @Echo_Paige1979 @MicahBeckwith @ScottPresler It's about roots, friend. I don't want "to visit" IN, I want to continue living and working and loving my family and friends here. I Hoosier elected politicians to care about ALL their constituents, not just the ones who voted for them. Why are you telling your neighbors to move?

[Matt McNally @McNally4Indiana]

61% of Hoosiers oppose redistricting-including nearly 30% of Republicans.
In contrast, Micah Beckwith has an 8% approval rating across the state, and only a 16% approval rating amongst Republicans.
More Republicans oppose redistricting than approve of Micah Beckwith

[meg1970 @meg1970]

@Echo_Paige1979 @MarioBr99911268 @MicahBeckwith @ScottPresler Why should I leave where I built a life? What happened to bipartisanship and two parties working together? Further, an elected politician's "constituency" is EVERYONE in that district, not just those who voted for them. Politicians who respect their entire constituency is great!

[meg1970 @meg1970]

@MicahBeckwith @ScottPresler Close the borders to carpetbagging charlatans like @ScottPresler!
