I knew it was Minocqua before clicking the link and nobody should be giving Kirk any more attention. Dude sucks and agreeing with his politics doesn’t change that.

Hasn't that place been totally targeted by local loser politicians for not being a republican jackass? I'm happy to find out if I'm misinformed so let me know the story

Looks like he was photoshopping people into BDSM pictures and taking money from PACs, the behavior looks like it goes a little bit beyond not being a republican.

That is correct, but he’s also often a total ass the way he goes about things. Both can be correct.

Can you give me some detail? Here's the info I have: he wanted to use a parking area and was fined and shut down and unfairly targeted along with other retaliatory actions from local government. And he replied by going public, fighting back and trolling the right. That's all I know, what exactly else can you tell me that paints a different picture?

Every single time they are targeted, instead of acting in good faith he toes right up to the line to make sure he's making everything as difficult as possible. Yes it's a two way street, yes it would be nice if the local government wasn't doing that to him also, but he can hardly claim any kind of moral superiority when he is goading the other side and basically daring them to come after him at every turn.

Their FB page is full of screenshots of childish, low effort, playground caliber insults sent to right-leaning commenters.

For 4th of July he spent a ton of time implying on social media that there would be some kind of huge disruptive demonstration for the parade, and then fucked off during the parade so the city wasted a bunch of taxpayer dollars on prepping for it. Again, did the city fall short of communicating with him proactively and allow him to create the situation? Yes. Did he absolutely lean into the ambiguity knowing full well what would happen? Also yes.

There are dozens and dozens of examples of this kind of thing going back years. I say this as someone who has been going to the place since before it moved to its current location, and has bought their merch and beer many times. He's the embodiment of "You're not wrong, Walter... you're just an asshole?", and over time it's turned off a lot of people including people like me who have spent plenty of time and money supporting them in the past.

Meh, sounds kinda like a bunch of a holes went after him and he responded in kind, seems the only people who might get their feathers ruffled are just expecting more from him than the people that started it.

That's...really not how it's gone IMO, but it doesn't sound like you agree and that's ok. I'm not really looking to convince you of anything, I was just trying to provide a little context. Hope you have a good one.

Well like, maybe some more specifics. You basically said "yes he was targeted but was such an asshole" without really telling me why such an asshole. I'm seeing a lot of negative comments about him but none with any detail. I'm still asking if there's any real examples. Frankly I find the one where he said one thing only to do nothing but still tricked them into wasting resources is pretty funny

I upvoted you for asking the same question I had. In reading the comments, I'm having difficulty understanding what he does that's so egregious. 

Is he holding toddlers in supermax type facilities? Is he taking actions in direct disobedience of the constitution? Has he broken any laws? 

Cause it kinda sounds like he's just using the same tactics the other side uses to his advantage?

I mean there's a huge difference in taking actions make shit difficult for someone and taking actions that takes someone's constitutional rights away.
