Summary: rich, privileged out-of-towners move to rural town, buy place next to a restaurant without realizing that restaurants make trash that stinks in the summer heat, then proceed to buy up more of the town & try to put the restaurant out of business, & finally throw money into local politics to get their kid elected, in part because they want their way and in part because they are unaccepting of anyone different from themselves.

Typical. Tax the rich!

You provide a good summary (though you left out the #LGBTQ vs #MAGA element, which is significant). Thanks for the summary and for the #GiftLink:

"Mike, 54, and Melissa Washer, 53, are conservatives who have an “Only JESUS can save America” sign on their back railing. On her Facebook page, Melissa posted a photo of herself, her husband and their son, Regan, outside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, when rioters stormed the building to prevent a peaceful transfer of power, leading to multiple deaths."
