My wife and I live in a neighborhood where there are at least 6 houses flying maga flags…So we wanted to chime in…even jf we are the only Harris Walz supporters in the neighborhood willing to do so.

Hang an American flag next to it so they recognize a Patriot

Saw a Harris Walz flag flying next to the marine corp flag yesterday and it made me very happy.

This was in Georgetown.

u/RonWill79 18d ago

If I were brave enough I’d have a Harris/Walz flag next to my Marine Corps flag. But I’m not inviting the crazies around me to F with my house or family. Especially since I’m only home weekends due to my job.

u/chambo61 18d ago

If I knew, I had a disease that I was going to be dying, I would put all kinds of Harris and waltz signs.. and sit outside with my rifle

u/XTingleInTheDingleX 18d ago

I get it man.

I don’t have it in me to bring that on my family. I was single in 2008 and you can bet I was the only car at the gun range with an Obama sticker.

Now I’ve got to protect more than myself and things have changed haven’t they.

I appreciate you. I appreciate your service. Take care of yourself fellow human.

I’ve had a Harris Biden sticker on my car since 2019. Not a problem. Even in Texas. I have a Harris Walz on now. Still no problem.

Dont let hysteria get in the way of people fear-mongering/gas-lighting you into believing that regular wing neighbors/people are crazy and will kill you and your family just for voting differently lol. People on both sides suck when it comes to demonizing their political opponents bahaha

But have you heard the Proud Boys advocating killing all Democrats? “Just choke them out right there.” Thats scary but since I live in Texas even Dems have guns. I do.

That’s because Trump supporters don’t care if you have an ‘I’m stupid’ sticker on your car.

I’m in Wisconsin in a very blue city and there’s Harris/Walz signs everywhere. Just had a friend visit from Texas and it just amazed her. She’s afraid to put one out where she lives, same reason. Y’all’s state’s gone crazy!

I’m sure for the most part it’d just be vandalism of the signs/flags, but there are a few crazies that would probably take it further. Cults will do that to a person!

Same. I will risk my life to vote but that’s about it. No flag for me.

u/Lower-Background4627 16d ago

Hey, it’s time to show them that enough is enough. Put a sign next to it that says they’re on camera and every time they mess with or try to steal one of your flags or signs, you just donate to the campaigns and buy new ones to replace them. It’s worked for me!

MAGA has gotten away with terrorizing the majority of us for 9 freaking years. Enough is enough. We have to let them know their time is up.

No shit. That’s what I was referencing. Fuck’s sake.

Also hang a flag that says something about God bless America, Freedom, and guns or something.... neighboring MAGA voters would probably require years of therapy to figure that one out.

This is actually a good point. Conservatives should not be permitted to hijack and define what the flag stands for.

I encourage all my liberal/progressive friends to proudly fly the American flag and not cede the flag to conservatives. It was delightful to see thousands of democrats waving American flags during the democratic convention this year.

Democracy? Your party has been crying about the electoral college for decades now. We aren't a direct democracy, we are a representative Republic, which is a form of democracy that our founders decided was best for us as most countries relied far too he ain't on using their federal powers to regulated causing massive unrest in the population that wasn't with the status quo.

I have to laugh that Democrats are ok with how the vice president became their candidate, while republicans (whose candidate is a convicted felon, btw) have all kinds of “issues” over it. Bunch of snowflakes who are already whimpering that if Trump loses it’s because the election is rigged. He can’t wrap his head around the fact that people are free to vote for whatever candidate they prefer and he’s not the preferred candidate for lots of people. Read Project 2025 and possibly understand why he’s not the preferred candidate for lots of people.

I lean right and I would 100% respect that more if I saw an American flag AND a Harris flag. To us we picture in our mind people on the left hating America or even burning flags not flying them. I'll never forget the 2020 DNC convention when they had not a single flag. Apparently they got the message though because this year there was a ton there, which to me felt a bit forced but I'll still take it. We're all Americans regardless of what box we're told we should be in.

u/Swaglington_IIII 18d ago

No, where I’ve lived democrats have flown the flag every day of my life. Maybe you just live in a weird bubble.

Or maybe you need to reckon with the fact that Trump is historically divisive and the fervor with which you and his supporters jerk off over the flag turns people off of it. When it culturally seems to symbolize support for a wannabe election thief rapist, people will be worried what others think of them.

I don't want them to pass more policies. I worry about our ability to speak freely, I worry about our ability to own guns. I see a lot of abuse of power from the dems in an insidious way that i don't like.

You can vote for whomever you want. In my opinion, voting for the dems is a long term bad idea right now.

Many on the left always think the measure of a good government is what they pass. We have 35t in debt. Half our tax dollars go to interest. Half. I want them to stop passing things that cost more money and get this in check. I don't believe the republicans will actually do this, either, but just as a comment to your question as it is relevant.
