re: #132 MsJ
Every time I’ve seen it happen, and this isn’t to say I haven’t joined in a time or two (but never started it), it always seemed to start from a person who just HAD to make their opinion known. Had to. Wanted to see if others got offended or gave them MAGA high fives.
These are folks that can’t imagine constraints on their speech or behavior because they see it as the standard for society and they need to constantly reaffirm that. They always need to flex their soft power in these settings. They see no risk to it.
