How to Deal With Ottawa Objects Temper Tantrum
Ottawa County, MI - Ottawa County has a new conservative Board of Commissioners. They were sworn in on January 3, 2023, setting-off the squawk heard around the county by the Facebook group “Ottawa Objects.” They are kicking and screaming that the Board took away their toy DEI and woke county bureaucrats.
Jessica Starr, the anti-Trump protester who screamed in agony “no” at the Trump inauguration, is the Ottawa Objects spokesxe. Starr shared xe feelings, “I love people but this is not what we want,” Starr said. “We want the DEI. We want wokeism. We want it back. Those right-wing meanies on the Board took it away.” Xe began to weep uncontrollably. “This is not what we want…This is so unfair…We want our toys back!”
In a demonstration of love, the Facebook group posted a set of rules in the spirit of the DEI to make everyone in the county who wants to join feel welcome, included, and belonging. Rule number one, “if you do not hate white people you are not welcome.” Rule number two, “any person of color who does not feel like a victim of white supremacy is not welcome here.” And rule number three, “other rules to smash the patriarchy to make it not welcome here.”
Starr and the members of Ottawa Objects are expected to show up at the next Commissioners meeting to hit, kick, bite, scream, and throw things. Commissioner Sylvia Rodea said, “I know that the DEI has ended and they're mad. That's OK. But it's not OK to hit, kick, bite,scream, or throw blocks. The last thing I want to do if they throw a tantrum is to give them a hug, but it really can help them settle down. Not a super cuddly one, just enough to let them know we care for them, even if we don't agree with their behavior.”
The bottom line. Coping with a woke leftist's tantrums can be difficult, to say the least. However, it is important to remember that they are challenging for them too. Often, they are just working through their emotions and don't know how else to show that they are upset. So, rather than viewing their tantrums as a behavior problem, maybe it's a learning opportunity and time for them to get extra support after serving 30 days in the county jail.
