This happens relatively often here, unfortunately. There is a group of Proud Boys in town and there's a known KKK group in the Branson area. And then there's Blue Eye. Pretty much a sundown town. There are the 417 Honkeys, too, but they tend to be less threatening in terms of white supremacy and more threatening in terms of being absolute tweakers.

Prior to moving to Springfield, we spent a few months right-before-the-2020 election in Blue Eye. It was… unkind.

Good lord, I am so sorry. I can only imagine how hostile it must have been.

We kept to ourselves, but we had our Cali plates on the car. Gas station visits were… tense. There was a 1:10 (?) scale replica of the Statue of Liberty in the development where we were. It was… ironic.
