    That’s why I’m not going anywhere near that building but urge parents to show up to actually defend their kids, from the conservative lunatics. I’m strange, immature and overprotective of kids, but I recognize that this isn’t my fight, and I’m not a creep.

    I know I’m just one person, but since 2017 I’ve come to the terrifying conclusion that some people will look for any excuse they can to discredit people who disagree with the group consensus (in this case, disagreeing with all the multiple consensus clusters of the various political extremes and of short-sighted “extreme centrism”) and that on the surface and combined with my digital footprint of being “confrontational” (long story, but a quack psychiatrist ruined my life), a person who would want to sabotage my life could easily paint me as some sicko instead of someone with Autism who genuinely wishes the best for kids because I had my childhood disrupted by people who tore me away from my family at age 10.
