Nope. I do not care what kind of deal I can get, just no.

And election materials must be taken down by three days after the election.

I never cared much for HOAs but some times I can see their point.

completely surrounded by Trumpers where I live and I thank God none of them behave like this. They are all pretty decent socially.
I'd be embarrassed for my property to look like that.
Then again, my closest neighbor is far enough away, I can only see their house if I'm up on the barn roof.

in the 10 years i've been doing this, 3 houses on the block sold BECAUSE they loved my farm.
and anybody who doesnt like it, wouldnt like it here anyway.

if i were a realtor, i'd be looking for the nutjob that wants to live on that block, cuz they're out there.

If the property was desirable and the rest of the neighborhood decent, that display would make me want to at least consider moving in right. next. door. I always put in landscaping to improve privacy and block eyesores anyway.

that's making it hard to sell, I suspect the inside of the house is just as trashy as the outside with
extra holes for all the posters and empty beer cans everywhere.

It survives. Perhaps some trumpers will patronize it.

for Trump signs. We will begin downsizing next year. We could have gotten a good read of areas at that time.

We were pleasantly surprised to see several “we support teachers” and “we support science/love is love” signs on the block of the house we liked. It sure helped our decision.

I’ve been even more pleasantly surprised I see lots of those signs around town in the year we’ve been here. I grew up here and, as a gay man, never considered this town all that enlightened.

There was one trumpanzee crank protesting on the street corner last year with his trump flags. My boyfriend wouldn’t let me stop the car to heckle him
