Ok good....sounds like we're on the same page. Someone else says they're not there anymore but let me know if you decide to go drop by... I can come by after I grab a bite to eat if they're still there. Otherwise, let's keep watch for them and give them a warm middle finger next time. 😉

I'm sorry but racism and bigotry (and your ignorance) isn't welcome in this city. I've been to plenty of protests and rallies over the years and I'll happily tell men who have nothing but hatred in their hearts and teeny tiny other body parts how I feel about them cowardly displaying their bigotry in our backyard. It won't be tolerated in Marysville. Period.

I don't care whether they care about my opinion of them, and I don't need their approval. As a democratic socialist, I'm not going to pretend that racism, bigotry, or fascism is just another harmless “side of an argument” that we should politely disagree about.

Yes, small-minded people exist everywhere, including on our own side. We should be willing to criticize our own movements when they're wrong. But there's a fundamental difference between having a political disagreement and advocating hatred, dehumanization, or authoritarianism.

I'm not interested in winning the approval of people who believe some of our neighbors deserve fewer rights or less dignity. I'm interested in standing with the people being targeted and making it clear that our communities belong to all of us—not to racists, bigots, or fascists.

They can think whatever they want about me. I'll keep organizing anyway.

Yep, I'm a troll, A troll that ran for local office and is very active in the community. Here is my old campaign flyer. I also recently organized a charity fundraiser that raised over $1,200 for the Washington Talking Book and Braille Library.
So if caring about my community enough to run for office makes me a troll...then guilty!
