…their “Second Amendment freedoms” on your house and anyone inside it. Or throw a well-placed Molotov cocktail.

If we don’t realize that, like the brownshirts of 1930s Germany, the MAGAt movement relies on bullying and intimidation to silence other viewpoints, we’re being sadly innocent.

Not saying we shouldn’t express our opinions…but, if you do so, I hope you have the means to “stand your ground” against anyone who tries to silence you.

UPSIDE DOWN on July 4th. If any neighbors point out the 'error' they will have it explained to them.

turned it into an obscene symbol of their movement towards fascism, authoritarianism, and most recently, Trumpism.

I'll instead put up my usual July 4 house flag of Snoopy & Woodstock each holding US flags with fireworks behind them. I can't let them take Snoopy & Woodstock from me.

Flew it full-staff from his death to his funeral and through the "mourning" period, then took it down.

Our house is back from the road.

Probably when we put our mid-terms signs out closer to the road.
