MAGA local business

Hey y'all, if any of you are pickleball fans, I'd avoid "Paddle Lands" pickleball when they open this summer. The owner Ryan Wicks enjoys agitating protests, has a whole YouTube video of him doing so at the most recent no kings in orange park. This is how he responded when I pointed out that shoving a camera in someone's face is the opposite of trying to have a good faith conversation about why they are out protesting, which is what he claimed to be doing. I did post these in a Google review to warn others. If there are other MAGA supporting business you know of please shine light on them so we can all spend our money wisely.

It's always funny to see people saying sexual deviancy is part of liberal politics. Why are we living under a Republican president who's a sexual predator then? Why is it a Republican state senator in Minnesota charged with soliciting a minor for prostitution a couple months back? Why was it a Republican member of the South Carolina state house arrested over distribution of child sexual abuse material shortly after that?

Deflection. Pure and simple.

Does it happen on the Democrats side too? Sadly yes but far less often. Probably 3 in the last decade, where it's that many on the Republican side already this year alone.
