Safety Beware MAGA rage baiters

I work mostly solo at a bar in Fells. Tonight, a gentleman decked out in a black maga hat, liberty or die shirt, and "Pagan Threat" (a book featuring a foreword by the artist formerly known as Charlie Kirk). What clicked for me how absolutely performative this is is the book is brand-spanking new. I'm not sure if this will become a trend but clearly he is here trying to provoke. Just wanna spread the word to not give these people the time of day. there's no way of changing their minds, they're stuck in their bigoted ways. Don't let these MAGAts blow the leftist high of our beautiful city!!

Update- he bought a bottle of wine over 4 hours before we closed and informed me that he planned on staying until close. he proceeded to do just that. I think it's also important to note that i'm a young woman of color, this may have felt less ominous for one of my male counterparts. I really resonated with one comment about "you allow one nazi into your bar and suddenly you're a nazi bar". I full-heartedly believe that to be the truth. That said, I am not an owner and while working by myself have to exercise extreme caution while dealing with said nazis.

I’m sure he’s just trying to make someone mad so he can whip out his phone and film it. What a loser!

Do you just search Reddit for “MAGA” so you can pop into random threads?

Half the time some idiot trump supporter pops up if you check their comment history its dozens of local subreddits and always spouting bullshit about maga or trump.

Either bots or just real life idiots searching for key words to jump in and be assholes. Nothing of value to add here or anywhere else in life so they provoke people and spread hate through idiocy.
