I nearly lost my job. Ended up ostracized and sexually harrassed, and was sent into home office because the Nice People At Work said that they couldn't concentrate, knowing that there is a Literal Nazi in the building. Which was fine by me, in the end, but it was all pretty traumatic.

The constant stress made my blood pressure jump and stay elevated, which caused me to become dizzy and total my car, with my son in it (he's okay, thankfully), by driving off a small cliff. I have never fully recovered.

I had to switch political parties, before running for office. I lost all of my friends and some of my favorite relatives stopped talking to me and pretended like I had died.

I was active on Twitter and gaining reach, but I constantly got shut down by people reporting me for moderation, because I am Literally Hitler. So, I came here. Where I immediately got terribly harrassed again, but at least I can mute and use my own relays, so I am still here.

I am actually a city girl and wanted to move back, but it's overrun with left-wingers and Muslims, now, so I can't really live there, anymore, and live rather isolated out in the boonies. It's hard for me to get and hold a job because I can't drive far and there's effectively no public transportation. I broke off my computer science studies in the 9th semester because it was all too much.

I like it here, now, and I have a job, again, but this is my intranational refugee camp, basically. I was terrorized and displaced, because everyone decided they totally loved migrants, _except that one_.

I paid the price, for refusing to be silent or lie, but I would do it, again. I was right. I knew I was right.
