It's yahoo news. Nobody older than 18 takes yahoo seriously. I took them off my list years ago. A quick glance at the hyperbolic headlines of their stories tells you it's just red meat for hater mongers (liberals/progressives).

This article greeted me this morning. I just don’t know what to say. It started off nice and then the woman accused her nice neighbors of being Nazis, or at least Nazi sympathizers. I’m just done with these people. They think Trump supporters are the brainwashed, and I think they are. This doesn’t seem fixable.
If I had a neighbors who judged and condemned me based on my political perspectives, I'd be done with them. Minimum interaction as necessary, no engagement. Who needs this kind of middle school nonsense?

Agreed. The article was so ridiculous I thought it had to be satire.

I didn't read the article but living in Missouri, I get to practice keeping my head low daily.

The truth is that those of us who aren't Trumpers try not to say anything that will get them upset....

I really don't like being preached at...

It's been that way for 4 years.

Agreed. It's blatant trolling by a writer trying to make their next payment.

And all this time it's not the Trumpers we need to worry about. Go figure!

Unless doing nice things for neighbors is now a microagression...

This is why I refuse to have campaign signs in my yard, bumper stickers on my vehicles, etc. We have reached a point where it's all or nothing. You either vote the same as me and are a good person, or vote for the other party and are an evil terrible person. Both sides are equally guilty of doing this, yet both will blame the other side for causing it to be this way.


If we are to have any hope as a country we need to get back to a place where we can still see the good in others, even if political views differ.

Yup, the "boogyman", so to speak. Right up there with the "Bad Orange Man".

So, it's those of us that aren't Trumpers that you need to worry about???

Your answer is a perfect example of why I don't say anything to my neighbors who are Trumpers.

Have a nice day!

My next door neighbors include a hoarder, an old hippy pot grower, a guy who can't seem to keep his dogs on his own property despite everyone's complaints, and a nice old couple who believe in chemtrails.

I'd still help them if we were snowed in and they needed help.

BECAUSE THEY ARE PEOPLE!
