The OPs neighbor’s flag change has come during the Trump administration. Given your obvious annoyance with the OP I felt like that detail was worth mentioning.

Don't tell them about your opinions first. Just ask why. Let them go on.

After seeing you for 6 weeks, you can casually ask, “Didn’t I used to see Trump signs in your yard? I’m surprised to see an upside down American flag.”

I stick my forever flags stamps upside down on everything I mail. Its a small gesture but every effort at protest counts in this insane situation.

I have RBG, John Lewis, and more. Makes paying the few bills we pay by check more fun. And Birthday and other cards more fun, too.
