2. And when folks 'retaliate' and explode emotionally
Tue Oct 12, 2021, 01:09 PM

To alleviate that stress and anxiety - 45's minions doubled down.


This is my Mayor - and dear friend Betsy Driver. I put myself in her shoes and our First Lady's shoes - this kind loving couple who my husband and I have broken bread with - and this is 'how' it gets covered.

It was her response to Serena Joy being placed on SCOTUS as a replacement for RBG.

It was a reasonable response.

A New Jersey mayor told Trump supporters to go f--- themselves and then dared her constituents to vote her out


The mayor of a small New Jersey town had some harsh words for those who supported and continue to support a president she believes is a threat to her LGBTQ family.

"If you voted for the orange monster with COVID, go f--- yourself," Flemington Mayor Betsy Driver wrote in a Facebook post. "If you plan on voting for him again, unfriend me and go f--- yourself again."

A screenshot of a portion of the post to her private page was shared by the county Republican committee, and drew the ire of some community members.

Gabe Plumer, chair of the group, called on Driver to resign.



And I agreed with her on Facebook Post (on her private page where a sneak copied and pasted it to the GOP in our County) - and I STILL agree with her.

She didn't resign, she didn't apologize, the 're-callers' fizzled out and mark me - she will get re-elected next year! To my LGBT DUer's -

Just as an ally -

Don't apologize for anything.
