Learn from me, dear voters. Ignore the hecklers and just keep walking.
Connie Schultz's column today is about voter intimidation, and here's what she's encountered herself:
Late last month, I pulled in to a Walgreens parking lot about a mile from my house to pick up a few packs of family photos. As soon as I got out of the car, I saw him — and he saw me.
He was in his early 30s, I'd guess, wearing a Trump T-shirt. At the sight of me, he stopped and waited by the entrance. I doubt he recognized me. I'm not his type of columnist. I tried to avoid looking at him as I approached the entrance, but he was itching for a fight. He pointed to his chest and said, "I'll bet this scares you."
I shook my head and did something stupid: I paid attention to him.
"Son, your anger is none of my business," I said, and then I walked into the store.
Learn from me, dear voters. Ignore the hecklers and just keep walking.
He was waiting for me when I returned to my car. "Hey," he yelled through his open window. "Hey, you f—-ing hag. I'm not your son, and I'm not angry."
I love it when they prove my point.

Plowing forward despite all the BS Russia, the FBI, the m$m, the patriarchy, and the right wing machine throw at her. 
LOVE her AND her spouse. 
Thanks for this, kpete!
