Hi Jeff, I’m certainly not a MAGA poster, but I think I might have gotten caught up in a block by posting a message in one of these threads encouraging people not to engage with ICE agents so as not to risk their lives. Can you please check the IP? I will send it to you. Thank you!


The IP address that you sent is located in Portugal. I blocked a huge range of addresses from Portugal today. Are you in Portugal or is there a particular reason you are using an address from there?


Hi Jeff, I am actually in Portugal. Would appreciate if you would unblock my address. Thanks again!


Are you an American citizen living in Portugal?

Or someone could just be overseas, as in my case. Thank you.


I've unblocked the address.


Thank you Jeff.

It’s funny how many times the “not MAGA” posters end up admitting that they voted for Trump.

I agree they seem to come out of the woodwork during these types of events. It's become hard to tell who is a troll and who is a sincere RWNJ poster who just wants to express their viewpoint. Thank you for trying to block them.

Jeff, out of curiosity, is there any discernible pattern to the type of posters that are expressing the MAGA/government viewpoint on the shootings in Minneapolis? It tends to feel coordinated but is probably random. Any insights are appreciated.
