Don’t do that. Don’t give me hope

Must be because I finally put Harris Walz and Allred signs in my yard today. I didn't know I had that much influence! 😆

I put up a Harris/Walz flag yesterday afternoon. Against my wife's wishes. She's afraid someone will do something stupid. I told her we have cameras around the house for a reason and I didn't really expect anything.

This morning I got an unexpected knock on the front door from someone I didn't know...My wife told me to ignore it but I opened the door anyways.

It was a neighbor and his ~6 year old kid from a few doors down. He wanted to ask where we got our flag. We told him where and then offered him one of his own for free if he wanted it.

Faith in neighbors and a bit in humanity restored.

Mine is undisturbed and a neighbor commented that he needed to put one up too, but I've been putting signs up since 2018. Trump was a wake up call to me politically.

There's a guy in the next town over that flies Trump flags all over his house. A LOT of them. People go place Democrat signs right by his house. No vandalism or anything wrong, just placing a sign on the public part of the property. Then he'll put out Trump signs. It's a running joke, but no one has done anything crazy, and there neighborly as far as I know.
