You make them feel as unsafe and unwelcome as you can, you kick them out of every space you're in and drive them away from every event you attend.I really like how you used spoilers here for rhetorical effect. It gives your comment a rhythm to it you don't often see in writing.

I don't support her at all, the difference is I held out my nose on the possibility that after she won she would promote ranked choice voting (as she promised) and in the next election I could vote for a good candidate. Sadly we may never know if she would do that.
