Update on my Trumper neighbor: silence. no Facebook blurts.

Please let it be that his wife told him it's over and knock it off on Facebook.

His wife is in their new (replacement for the stolen one, I presume) car and is talking with their 20ish son. Been there for a while and not left.

Hope he's OK and calmed down from yesterday.

Has anyone else who have Trumper family members or neighbors like mine had any blow ups today?

I hope we are all done with this.

Update on my Trumper neighbor: silence. no Facebook blurts. (Original Post) CTyankee Nov 2020 OP
Mine told me that he would not be flying the US flag for at least the next four years. marble falls Nov 2020 #1
Sounds like he's accepted Biden being declared the winner Kaleva Nov 2020 #2
Not at all. He says feels he is in a prison camp. I've seen him worked up before but not like this. marble falls Nov 2020 #3
But he's going to hang the flag upside down for the next 4 years Kaleva Nov 2020 #5
He's putting it in a drawer until he gets "liberated". He actually said that. marble falls Nov 2020 #8
OK. Close enough. lagomorph777 Nov 2020 #9

Is this the same guy you had a big argument with on the phone awhile ago? cwydro Nov 2020 #13
my street of 18 homes had 1 flag and 2 yard signs HAB911 Nov 2020 #14
why take down a flag? Signal of surrendering? CTyankee Nov 2020 #15
I kind of wondered the same thing HAB911 Nov 2020 #16
Just a guess: he's signalling that he's giving up on the ole U.S.A. for not giving him another term. CTyankee Nov 2020 #18
I traveled half way across Upper Michigan today and counted 7 homes with Trumps signs and/or flags Kaleva Nov 2020 #17

That must mean he's accepted that Biden will be in the wh and not Trump

Maybe he'll just stay inside for four years and not bother anyone, which could be a blessing I suppose.

Incredibly disrespectful to people who've spent time in real prison camps, and who are in them now.

And while I can understand the use of fb for faraway friends/relatives...why in the world have a neighbor as one? Especially a trumper?

totally unexpected. If I decide to resume contact with them at some time, I might ask.

It's awful, but I really think it is what he is thinking.

Except for a small minority, the nation has moved on IMHO.
