(23,953 posts)I'm in NC, purple, but I'm in a red area. I see those damn black US flags which proclaim they're ready to kill libruls when Trump gives the word, and I have one neighbor who loathes me because of my views so much that she has said on Nextdoor such things as she hopes terrorists bomb my home. lol Oy. Vandalism for sure.
Because it's no longer just me and my daughter and grandson live with me, I've become silent, even on social media, because I don't want to put them in harm's way. I was harassed years ago by the "alt-right" (aka Nazis) with phone calls to my home and everything, so I know what it's like once you're targeted. And once you're on their radar, you're always on their radar.
So I feel like I'm going to explode all the time, repressing this rage and anger and sense of helplessness to do something to protect my grandson, now and in the future. I'm definitely losing brain cells, so I'm trying to figure out what I can do covertly...lol.
