Yard Signs

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!



:lol:

I will stick to just reading the comments, screw the train wreck debate.

Saturday, I took a ride up to PG to tour my old stomping grounds. Rode in and around Bowie, Belair, Glenn Dale, Seabrook, Lanham and Greenbelt for approximately 2 hours. Saw only 4 Biden/Harris signs and 3 Trump signs; not much enthusiasm for Biden/Harris and more than expected support for Trump. Surprising because in 2016, all of PG was littered with Hillary signs. Not sure if the cars I saw were PG residents but probably saw 3 times more Trump bumper stickers than Biden/Harris.

My observations on signs -

on rt 235 from Ridge to Lexington Park, there are many more Biden signs than Trump signs. Two Biden signs have “no trespassing“ signs attached to them.

on rt 4 from Solomons to Dunkirk, there are many many more Trump signs than Biden signs. I noticed 2 Trump signs last week that had been defaced (spray painted). One of those signs (White Sands) was knocked down over the weekend.

Here is the Trump flag across from White Sands that someone mentioned earlier.
