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.
I agree with you. I live in Takoma Park and I know the man who was doxxed. He is more thoughtful than others I know in Takoma Park.
You would not meet him on the street and recoil in horror, saying he is a fascist. I think you have to look at what is behind people's support of Trump. Perhaps they feel alienated by their communities and feel failed by government.
What we ought not do is what so many people did on Facebook to this man.
