Seriously dude? If you're trying to make the case for Trump supporters being good neighbors, well, you're doing a horrible job.

You're feeding the negative stereotypes that people have.

Finally caved in...People say you're a bad neighbor long enough you stop being a good neighbor ....Just wait until people get tired of being called Nazis and really start acting like Nazis...

Oh okay, that sounds so much more reasonable.

I actually don't know or care what my neighbors' political beliefs are. Nobody makes a big deal of it, usually. There are very few yard signs for the election. We do have a guy who makes a fool of himself with Trump flags. This is a permanent display and he has had as many as 20 flags but is down to about 10 or 12 since the election. He thinks it is patriotic but is actually ridiculous. This is a blue state so most people think he is a fool but leave him alone. Otherwise, I only know of a couple episodes of confrontation and these were always started by Trumpers who were rightfully put in their place. They tried some voter intimidation stunts on election day but it didn't work.

My old boss gave me some good advice: "Don't wrestle with a pig. The pig enjoys it and you just get yourself dirty."

If they were one of those that stormed into the capital, not just attending the rally, by that logic all blm demonstrators should be arrested as well.

That is so tolerant of her.

No one is doing that.


There wasn't any "domestic terrorism" that could be reported.

That is strange behavior another reason I don't put political signs in my yard or stickers on my cars. There are too many wackos out there that are capable of anything and you never know what might trigger them. And its been over a decade since anyone I liked was even in presidential primaries so its not really an issue.


And I live in a red state and county but there were not many Trump signs, pretty much zero Biden signs around. Mostly local races.
