I am proud to have shared my expertise and products with a lot of truly great people. This blog post is NOT about them.
By and large, I respect people’s political opinions. I disagree with a shockingly large percentage of you, but I do respect your opinions and your vote. Your right to free speech, however, does not supersede mine or anyone else’s. Sadly, there are those who believe that they can intimidate others into accepting their bizarre version of reality, their political opinions, their religion, or any number truly wacko ideas.
The recent election troubles me intensely. I am seriously questioning whether I can continue to stand in front of crowds and tell them we still live in a great country founded on democratic principles when I know that these are likely to disappear within the next few years.
It is the policy of the Regimental Brewmeister to welcome, protect, and defend guests of all social, economic, and religious persuasions. We accept people of all genders and gender identities. We welcome people from all ethnicities and national origins. Some groups, however, are strongly advised to stay away – bigots, political operatives, bullies, and traitors. Unfortunately, the recent election suggests that hatemongers are in the majority.
You see, I don’t have to spend my hard earned money and limited free time supporting people who clearly do not love America. I am too damn old to put up with this. So, if you hate ANYONE; if you think DJT is a good person; if you subscribe to all the conspiracy theories and lies; STAY AWAY.
Going forward, people sporting Trump symbols or using language supportive of DJT are not welcome at the encampment of the Regimental Brewmeister and will not be served by the Admiral of the Blue Apron. People who are disrespectful to ANY guest of the Regimental Brewmeister or the Admiral of the Blue Apron risk my full wrath. My space at all events is intended to be a “safe space” for those who just want to learn history and maybe drink a few beers. I will tolerate no violation of that “safe space.” I am limiting my participation in events to those which do not cater to hatemongers and MAGA audiences.
Finally, if you are in the market for reenactment gear, I am selling. I may be selling everything so if you want to take over, let me know, we can work out a deal (assuming you are someone I am willing to accept as a true American).
If after reading this, you still want to have the
Regimental Brewmeister at your site or event, you can hire me.
