I’ll say it again louder for the MAGAs in the back:

This *isn’t* a dialogue. I don’t have the slightest interest in your points of view. If you post MAGA trash in response to my posts, then that’s my cue to block you. Go on, get your freak on so my followers can SEE WHO TO BLOCK.

Thanks BlueSky ❤️
