The constituents can talk to their reps however they fucking want, that’s kind of enshrined in the constitution. The whole idea of “america is so great”, false though it was, was almost entirely based on the Bill of Rights in which the freedom to openly criticize one’s government is at the very top.
If citizens can’t criticize their representatives, then they have no representation and we’re becoming a feudalist system with an untouchable aristocracy. That’s like centuries of regression.
On the other hand, government officials should be held to a higher standard and need to maintain decorum in their own actions and words, so cussing out your constituents and then storming out is conduct unbecoming of the station and makes one unqualified to hold office.
