Hey, fun story!
I live on a small island in Maine. Post-election, a writer-friend & I decided to start a little islander group to share emotional support, info & resources. She posted about the 1st meeting on NextDoor
IMMEDIATELY, MAGAs sailed in to scream, mock, & threaten us. For a support group

They won! And they’re still raging lunatics!
The only way they are going to learn is to touch the hot stove. They are too stupid for more.
This is going to be a shit 4+ years.
All because they couldn’t be bothered to start the investigations until 2022 when Jack Smith was hired on.
I trust this was an A/B test and neither of us are surprised at the result!
I'm local so I can tell which island.
Anyway welcome to bsky.
It truly is a breath of fresh air over here. Let the vile MAGAs drown in their own hate. 🤮
And ps. I hope you get to have your potluck. Maybe organize a virtual one through here?
Yet all these conservatives, 98% of whom *don't even live on the island* started shrieking SUCK IT UP BUTTERCUP & WE WON DEAL WITH IT.
I can't stress enough how this was a potluck support group.
Never mind, the logic evades them in everything. Be safe. 💗
You know these kinds of people have never actually delt with any emotional issues in a healthy way.
This will be important in a minute. It's also extremely stupid.
At first, she, with my support, felt fine about keeping it up. Assholes gonna be assholes.
But the threads of abuse got so intense & scary that she took it down for all our safety. We have kids & our addresses are on ND.
(Were any of the abusive shitjackals on that post suspended from NextDoor? Of course not.)
These are just randos in Portland, Maine suburbs, sitting around their computers scrolling NextDoor for cheap furniture or roof repair. Not DC operatives or weirdo militia men or high-investment GOPers. Just regular people.
LOVE THIS JOURNEY FOR US.

But also they know we won't storm the Capitol about it which is likely part of the problem. They walk all over us because they can

Now there was your first mistake.
I'm so sorry. They want to eradicate anyone who differs from them at all. They want no evidence of our existence. It's wild.
And also, I'm reminded that the people around us are just those same idiots from my high school, but grown up.
(I thought I recognized your name then saw your repost of @sjtuckermusic.bsky.social - it's been 20ish yrs since I saw her perform, but still some of my favorite CDs!)
That’s why I left
