His kink name and his real name. I don’t know if he’s on that site you mentioned ( I’m familiar with it) but a lot of people I’m friends with know both of his names and his politics.

I’m always surprised at who turns out to be maga. We used to do a lot with the jimmy buffet fan club ( parottheads). But found a lot of them were hard core maga and we choose not to associate with them so we quit the club. As if Jimmy Buffett would have anything to do with MAGA
