Trump supporter in Takoma Park getting dragged on social media

[Anonymous]

Diverse, tolerant, welcoming Takoma Park at it's finest... I will not link to the posts and add to the doxxing, but multiple social media posts in Takoma Park community groups have featured a photograph and commentary mocking local who dared to put out a Trump 2024 sign in their yard. At least one of them had the decency to edit out the street address. The posts garnered hundreds of laugh react emojis and hundreds of comments dogpiling the Trump supporter with only ONE defending the resident's freedom to express their own voting preferences. In a city that... I looked it up... the Democratic candidate usually gets 90-95% of the vote, the Green party getting 2-4% and the Republican getting 2-4%, that's still hundreds of Trump voters. There are still probably more Trump supporters in Takoma Park than individuals who identify as transgender, and nobody would mock a transgender person for being out about their identity.

If you wake up shocked next Wednesday morning, this is why. People are so defensive of their groupthink bubbles they couldn't imagine that even 1 out of 20 voters doesn't think like they do. Guess what, on an average grocery shopping trip to the Takoma Park food co-op, you probably saw a Trump supporter and you don't even know it. And the rest of the country thinks you're obnoxious.

Fascists and those who support them should be named and shamed. Sorry, not sorry.

As much as I deplore Trump I agree with the sentiment here. My republican friends - some of whom are voting for Trump - are much more tolerant and respectful when it comes to the freedom to vote for WHOEVER YOU WANT than my democrat friends. They either don't ask or don't care. Meanwhile it's a constant barrage of contempt and insults from my democrat friends about "trump voters."

This is how freedom of speech works:

The government is not allowed to tell you that you can't say stuff.

This is NOT how freedom of speech works:

You get to say whatever you want, and other people are not allowed to criticize it (or you).

If they are tolerant then why are they not tolerant of what the TP people are doing?

Are they tolerant or are they not tolerant?

Sure they are tolerant for you voting for whoever you want, as long as you are the “right person”

Listen to Apple News Today about the VA voter roll purge happening where the directions were to investigate anyone registered in the last 30 days with a Hispanic sounding name.

Ah yes label the other something repugnant. Then you have the excuse to beat them with bike locks.

Agreed. trumps and musk all say they for free speech; the neighbor is free to post a sign declaring his voter preference to the neighborhood in public view; likewise others are free to comment or post their comments on his public sign.

It’s not like he secretly whispered to his wife he was voting for trump, and someone recorded him and published it and ridiculed that. He made a public statement and wanted others to see and know. Now they do.

I’m sorry does social media have a “whack with bike lock” button? Is that what a blue check mark gives you?

Are we surprised? Disappointed, yes. Surprised, not for a moment.

Don’t be surprised on Wednesday when Trump has won a couple of those swing. Many people are not sharing that they’re voting for him.

Yes, part of social correction is needing to take accountability for your actions. Ex: if I say something rude, I apologize.

When you support a racist rapist for POTUS, who refuses to apologize for any of his very real harms and crimes, you have to take accountability for how that makes the people are you feel.

He has done nothing to win new voters. He is only purging voters who will abstain or cross party lines. Yes he will collect his 60M votes, but he will not win in swing states. Because his plan isn't to win, it's to lie cheat and steal. So why try to win fairly?

Who's disappointed? I'm not disappointed. The whole point of putting out a yard sign in your yard is for the public to see it. That's your speech. And, the public has seen it - and expressed opinions about it. That's their speech. Free speech all around.
