Dear Dave,
My neighbor across the street just put a giant Trump/Pence flag in their front yard. A week later―the day after the Breonna Taylor grand jury came back—he added a Blue Lives Matter flag to the pole. These people are very kind, perhaps the kindest and most generous people on our suburban block. And yet ... they're Trump supporters? They reject the idea of Black Lives Matter?
I don't know what to do about it. It's like a big middle finger, whether they know it or not. I'd like to put up a Biden sign, or a "Hate Has No Home Here" sign, to at least show the other neighbors, the people who drive by, and the delivery people that we don't share our neighbor's politics. But is that just an escalation? A middle finger to his middle finger? By putting up my own sign, and then seeking affirmation for that sign from strangers on social media, am I adding to the division in this country because it might fray my relationship with my neighbor? Should I instead knock on their door and begin a dialogue?
Am I coward? Am I overthinking this? Please, help!
xoxo Liberal Neighbor

Another win-win.
Hey, women are equal...
Years ago we answered this by saying “Mind your own business”.
Geesh, I barely notice the things .... and who cares?
You mean his male “wife?”
Once one sign goes up, others are emboldened to put their sighs up. That is why they really get shook up at the first sign.
Folks, put up your signs and watch the others appear.
How can any reasoning being think like that?....................
The proper response is to put up an even bigger Trump sign in your own yard.
The Trump Sign just got ten feet taller.
Maybe they believe all lives matter.
Part od Daves response,sez it all:
In late May of this year, a package came for my boyfriend Ben. He tore it right open, and it was a great big rainbow flag. “Pride Month,” he enthused, “Let’s hang it for June!” Now, I have never been a rainbow flag guy
I have no clue.
If pondered for too long, I fear I’d have a stroke.
YAWN.
I remember the Rats’ “I’m conflicted, what should I tell my children about the evil George W. Bush?”
I thought initially this was BB sarcasm and was falling for it. It could have gone either way, but Dave eventually makes it clear he is serious and also a serious snowflake like the lib author of this Dear Dave letter. What a bunch of pu$$ies this nation has produced.
That answer was way too reasonable.
C’mon, man!
Yes, you are a snowflake. Grow up. And just because they fly a police lives matter flag doesn’t mean they reject black lives matter. And just like the snowflake you are, I’m sure you’ll now shun the kindest and most generous people on your suburban block.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Doing pretty well with PDJT.
There is a house on my street with a Biden/Harris sign. Doesn’t surprise me. It’s the one house that can always be relied on to have leftard signs. My only involvement with the sign as I drive by is to is think to myself “dumbasses live there”.
OMG. I have 2 Trump signs up and I certainly hope nobody comes over to start a dialogue.
Big middle finger? You betcha.
“I liked Rush’s idea of having an all Feminist army, who all get PMS at the same time.”
But then they’d be useless 75% of the time.
Sexists’ response: “That’d be opposite of normal!”
Realists: “Consider what kind of feminists want to be kick-ass soldiers.”
