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

Leave it alone, its none of your business.
It’s like a big middle finger, whether they know it or not....
no, its nothing of the sort.

Nobody cares what you think. Do not be vain, a narcissist
But is that just an escalation? A middle finger to his middle finger?
Yes, you are acting and thinking like a thuggish bully.
By putting up my own sign, and then seeking affirmation for that sign from strangers on social media,
Why do you seek affirmation from complete strangers? Whatsamadder with you? What if the affirmation is coming from Russian Bots?
Am I adding to the division in this country.
Absolutely, you are the problem
..because it might fray my relationship with my neighbor..
Maybe, you should leave you bias at home and get to know your neighbour at a human being level.
The answerer, ‘Dave’, displays the exact same traits that he accuses conservatives of...................
That's why you separate them in different barracks, so you'll always have one platoon ready at all times.
Esquire went down the crapper with Rolling Stone years ago
Apocryphal. Same guy wrote the question and the response.
Liberals always engage in projection. It’s their defining interaction with conservatives.
Who spends over 5 G’s on eating out and drinks a week?
I see dozens of Trumps signs every day.
I’ve seen just one Biden sign at a neighbor’s. They also put up the only BLM/gay sign I’ve seen.
Liberal Neighbor and David Holmes obviously have serious issues with free speech.
If a campaign sign causes them that much angst, they need to move to one of the many socialist paradise nations that strongly support their need for groupthink.
I once asked the question about my neighbors who put a Hillary 2016 placard in their window.
That is good. Needs a bit of editing to make it more concise, but it hits the main point (that the MSM won’t touch) hard: For all his faults, Donald Trump is an American - not an enemy of the Republic.
Could be talking sbout my house,
Trump sign and blue lives matter flag displayed proudly
If you dont like it take a zoloft
So, perhaps this gal is your neighbor..
The best advice is always MYOB
Someone needs to get a life if all he thinks about is his lawn sign
Stack kindling against it and light the fire. Show your open mindedness by demonstrating that intolerance will not be tolerated anywhere!

C’mon, man!
I know, I know. I'm nothing but a pony-faced dog soldier.
Or something like that...
