I saw this same thing with another true to herself blogger who is wildly popular and spreads joy wherever she goes. The vitriol expressed by some of her readers was astonishing. One of her mantras was "kindness matters." But when she expressed her feelings about Trump's election back in 2016, a very vocal minority of her readers almost convinced her to stop writing. I think you are wonderful in every way, and the fact that you have a working brain and true heart sweetens the pie for me.

Sure we’re all tired of the 24-7 Trump show....but the worst thing we can do is to ignore it....we tried but it didn’t go away. Makes me wonder about the standard advice on bullying....just ignore it and they’ll stop? Tried that....and really, it made it worse. It made it look like it didn’t matter....on the street, in the press, on a baking site....it matters and we need to speak up.
