There’s a special election in my area, and Democrats have poured a load of money into winning it for their candidate who’s running against a dispersed Republican field. It’s horrible to have so much attention from politicians. I don’t mind the junk mail or even TV and radio spots so much, but the door-to-door campaigning is a nuisance. It’s always an interruption, and never useful. So when I heard my dog raising hell and went to the front of the house, I was relieved to see three hipsters walking away, an event I tweeted.
An apparent liberal person, @joaniereb, responded to my tweet, and you can see the exchange at left. Her stream is full of hashtags like: #impeachTrump, #resist and a lot of huffpo links, moveon retweets and Rachel Maddow references. You get the idea.
Now, I know not all liberals are off the rails and don’t necessarily equate a barking dog with violence and advocacy of World War III, but if this is the kind of person knocking on my door to get me to vote, I might get a second dog.
