A woman on twitter today told me that she used to be a big fan, but that now she realizes I'm "one of them" and should be placed under house arrest. She wasn't kidding.

What has caused this woman to say this? I am asking this as a serious question. It concerns me that the world is on this trajectory. I’m your biggest fan & with everything that is happening in the world your sage words are needed now more than ever and many people agree with me🥰

She clearly has not paid that much attention to your work! We are all one. No “us” & no “them.” She couldn’t have been that much of a fan if she believes so much in this type of division. Thank you, Marianne, for all you do! Sooner or later love will win her back. ❤️

people are "fans" sometimes for the wrong reasons. She thought she heard that you were one of her "them", but your "them" includes all of US. You have a gazillion fans from most of "them". I think she's confused. thanks for being one of our "them".

We love you Marianne. What I appreciate is that you’ve chosen to be a voice for the wounds and harsh realities of our times without bypassing them as many on the spiritual left and right have done. It takes great courage and impeccable integrity to face the shadow. Thank you

IMHO @marwilliamson is one of the few people in my feed who consistently strikes exactly the right combo of hope, call to action & vigilance re the incoming administration— love suggestions of others lovingly doing so. I see too much blind excitement or just plain cynicism

Americans who hate other Americans who don’t look, act, think or believe EXACTLY like they do need to be deported. America’s motto, “E Pluribus Unum” (Out of many, one) is still true and those who can’t handle that truth can’t handle the concept of America. They need to leave.

I used to think you were a joke (based on what I saw on tv etc, sorry 😓), but you are one of the more honest and humble representatives for us out here. Wish dems in Congress would listen to you more often...so I’ve had the opposite reaction over the last year and a half fwiw

Interesting how different people bring their own understanding of “them” to mean entirely different generalized sets of people, and also have figured out which actions of yours were “bad” to warrant that, or why the woman was “bad” to say it.

It should frighten us all that these people, in lock-step with their if’s Fe leader, think it’s perfectly acceptable to call for the imprisonment of people who think differently than they do. His metamorphosis into a dictator was almost complete. But, he’s still dangerous.
