We had a weird candidate for county commissioner. People on FB are bitching about their property taxes going up, and this spider-throwing lady is showing up in the comments to say that people should've voted for her.
Here's a news article about the spider throwing:

And a news segment:
Blaming constituents is a great campaign strategy, can't believe you lost ๐
Maybe her plan was to raise money with OnlyFans instead of property taxes:
Hi, Iโm Marisa Simonetti. Iโm running for Hennepin County commissioner, and Iโm a professional whore.
I just moved here from FL, and for all the insanity down there, even FL didn't have spider throwers. Property taxes and homeowners insurance are even higher down there, she should go down there and bring her spiders. Floridians might be more receptive to these shenanigans.
Yeah, or she'd have made a great VP pick for Trump. Republicans would eat that shit up and defend any crazy actions she took. She's also an escort, which would play well for him except maybe Utah, but they'd probably hold their noses and vote for him anyways.
She is sounding more and more like a FL native lol
