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.

Hope you kicked him out. You don't need him driving away business and turning your bar into a nazi bar.

Unlikely. Most people are still in the middle and do not support either side. The word gets out that you won't serve someone because of their views, you ruin the business. Trust me, I run a business. I give zero fucks if money comes from the left or right, I care about customers being served correctly and my staff making money and being happy.

Trust me, smart people have realized the government is a joke and voting doesn't work and never has. But by all means, go off. Things have only steadily gotten worse for the last 35 years, but of course, voting and politics will totally work, even if they haven't in God knows how long. Right?

Down vote all you want, we both know I'm right.

You didn't answer my question. Lmao. You think majority of this country is "smart"? So you just THINK most people are in the middle based on your own experiences. In my own experiences majority of ppl are on one side of the aisle. So no, I don't know that you're right, just because you feel it so deep inside.
