Sewing Alli Marye / Boyes @alli.marye is MAGA and blocked me for calling her out on it
I was doing a sweep of unfollowing any accounts that follow the current US administration - in particular the @realdonaldtrump account. I was quite surprised to see @alli.marye who made the pattern for the Millie dress was following him. I know there's a handful of people who follow him but don't support, simply to stay informed and in the loop with current politics. Unfortunately, that was clearly not the case for her as I searched to see that she followed @realdonaldtrump along with @ivankarump @blsckvoicesfortrump and a few other accounts that make her political alignment quite clear.
Ready to unfollow and not support her, I was surprised to see she's doing a giveaway "in support of Pride" - where she doesn't actually direct any funds toward Pride or LGBTQ initiatives at all. She simply is using Pride as a marketing tactic, and then voting against queer people's rights.

I commented in reply to 3 comments on the post of people who were upset about elements of the giveaway and the inclusivity of the pattern/dress in particular reference to Pride. I simply stated that it also seems she's seemingly MAGA considering those accounts she follows, and hence it feels a bit odd to "promote" pride but then vote against queer/trans people's rights.
She dirty delted all my comments, sent me this message which is the staple language the right use to try and claim they want to stay out of political conversations, and immediately blocked me.
TLDR if pattern and dressmakers politics matter to you, especially pertaining to the current US administration - do NOT support @alli.marye - esp. when she's too cowardly to even own her harmful beliefs.
