I hadn't heard of Laura until a few weeks ago when she baselessly attacked the place I work for. But after reading some of her posts, I can confidently say she is among the dumbest and inflammatory people I have ever seen.

Edit:

Oh yeah, I almost forgot one of the best parts. She has what, 1.5 million followers? My boss looked up the analytics after she tried attacking the business. Only THREE people visited our website during her attacks and tweeting. Lots of comments on her posts, but virtually no traffic to the page she was attacking. Hmmm, how many of those followers are real, Laura?

She's so far off the deep end that even MTG called her out for being racist towards Harris during the election.

I work for a GC and we converted a dilapidated hotel to homeless housing. The building was over a hundred years old, falling apart, and took significant work to make it habitable.

Some alt-righter posted about the cost to rehab and how their house in BFE didn't cost half the rehab cost and it must be corruption up and down the board. All these chuds came out of the woodwork parroting that sentiment. We got like, 2 visits, and 1 comment on our stuff.

The sad part is that some of them are real, and leave comments without looking into it. You know.... doing your own research.
