One of the Fascists in town who sits on our town council got together with his cronies to harass my wife for calling out their fascist behavior on the timeline. Tried to get her fired from her job, called basically every day for almost a month. We called the cops and nothing really came of it. I think they got bored once they couldn't get her fired.

Jesse what kind of shit were they doing/trying that your wife (rightfully and imo bravely) called out?

Oh, it was the stupidest of shit like, trying to make it mandatory to do the pledge at meetings, and she would comment about how dumb it was. He would post about it on Facebook on the town page about how "Un-American" the council was (including other Republicans) The council member and his comrades are those kinds of 1st amendment auditors who also bog down a local municipality with FOIA requests. These dudes showed up to our town hall and put in like 10 requests each and filmed the whole time.
