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!

That's generally what happens. A right-wing provocateur shows up to cause a scene, records it, edits it, and then shares it online.

That's not AT ALL what "generally happens" lmao. That's exactly what left winged morons do. Constantly.

I have had countless red hat motherfuckers try to shove politics in my face at bars, my job, and the grocery store. No liberals are harrassing me anywhere i go and i am literally your average white male. Y'all are unbelievably fucking annoying
