"MAGA Sheriff Eggleton refuses to investigate MAGA threats to r*pe my daughter and slit her throat."

From facebook post -
That last part is a quote from the harassing texts.
Meet Bobby Eggleton, the MAGA Sheriff of Putnam County, West Virgina, in which a video surfaced of him talking on the phone with the man inciting death threats towards my minor daughter.
After the video appeared online, I politely contacted him to ask him to call me. He did not call back. Today, in writing, he denied the call existed. I immediately presented the recording to him at which point he did not recuse himself, he did not report the matter to the West Virginia State Police or the FBI.
He said, "Come on into our office when you're in town."
Nice try Diddy.
The board of supervisors, also all MAGA, were included in these messages, as well as the editor of the Charleston newspaper, Mr. Millette, who also did not write back.
The lines are drawn in the sand folks.
The Sheriff is basically saying Democrats don't get police services in his county and MAGA has blanket license to threaten to kill any liberal child in his town.

They are the minority and are doing outsized damage to our nation. They want to kill us all. They would be majority at last!

Wall them off like a cist and let the wither. WV is dying anyway. From the garbage coming out of that state the last 20 years, I say let it die.

And yes they will affect you in ways you can't imagine. Stop listening to Fox News and voting for the shitty candidates that they endorse. You can do it. Vote against republicans.

when the badge is now a swastika? We are finding ourselves increasingly on our own. MAGAs have been infiltrating law enforcement for years right under everybody's noses. And those who did suspect that were told they were tinfoil idiots.
Nevertheless, now that it's obvious that liberals, or whatever people who don't like Adolf Trump are called now, are very much on the list, we need to start networking and be prepared to defend ourselves and others.

[Intro]
In this quiet town, echoes speak, the truth we can't refrain

[Verse 1]
Here in this world, there’s so much strife,
People aim to rule each moment of our life.
Promises broken, facades wearing thin,
But we can’t let them bury where our hopes begin.

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s getting dark, and shadows loom,
But we won’t let them seal this room.
We’re standing tall, hearts strong and free,
For every one of us, there’s unity.

[Chorus]
We’ll take it back, with votes or bullets,
They’ll make the choice, let’s make sure they’ve heard it.
We will retake our country, let your voice resound,
With brothers and with sisters, together, we stand our ground.

[Verse 2]
In the streets everywhere, the people rise,
A peaceful force beneath the open skies.
But still, they try to quiet our anthem loud,
With ICE deceiving, lurking in the crowd.

[Pre-Chorus]
Still, we won’t fold, we won’t be denied,
For the dreams of men and women who bravely died.
Through every struggle, our spirit shines,
We’ll rise to fight, ‘cause truth is in our lines.

[Chorus]
We’ll take it back, with votes or bullets,
They’ll make the choice, let’s make sure they’ve heard it.
We will retake our country, let your voice resound,
With brothers and with sisters, together, we stand our ground.

[Bridge]
The time has come to claim what’s ours,
With every heartbeat, we’ll chase our stars.
Give up the reign of silence or die in the fight,
Like our fathers before us, we’ll make it right.

[Chorus]
We’ll take it back, with votes or bullets,
They’ll make the choice, let’s make sure they’ve heard it.
We will retake our country, let your voice resound,
With brothers and with sisters, together, we stand our ground.

[Outro]
For every dream that met the night,
We’ll rise to fight for all that’s right.
With votes or bullets, we’re ready to strive,
That’s the sound of freedom, keeping hope alive.
