As a white woman living in the suburbs.. what terrifies me [View all]

is not having so many wonderful people of all races and cultures and religions living in the same suburbs I do.. what terrifies me is the couple of distant neighbors who fly their Trump flags, .. I have no idea what is going on with those people.. they stay to themselves..they are so fearful I guess.. I am not sure.. the rest of us. meet at the back fences , help each other when the winds blow.. (our tree came down in the big blow a couple of weeks ago).. I do not know what they are afraid of. But they scare the hell out of me
