From what I know this person is in their early 70s. They will not speak to any members of their family. They just sit at home and watch Fox News and make signs to hang up. This person also updates their signage depending on time of the year he has signs for Christmas, Easter, Fourth of July, Halloween, etc… on summer days, he will sit on his front porch with Fox News loudly playing so everybody in the neighborhood can hear him. It is very hard to get a photograph of his house because he is almost always at home and if you stop in front of his house, he almost always comes out, and he is usually armed at all times as well.

    I wonder if he would actually care about photographs. If you smile and wave, he’ll probably assume you’re ‘one of the good guys.’

      I’ve thought about that, but the fact that he is always armed even if I was pretending to be a maga fan he still might get trigger happy.

      I dunno. I took a photo of our hometown loony’s yard and he hopped in his truck with a shotgun, took after me. Fortunately his truck doesn’t fit on the bike path. Sometimes the safest interaction is to avoid.

    Woof. I had a neighbor like this at the last place I lived. One series of signs pre-2024 election was how his son couldn’t get a job or a wife because of the “immigrants stealing his jobs”. Ouch, how would you like your parents posting signs on the street about how you can’t get a job or laid. Multiple signs across the yard and ofc a flagpole with the Thin Blue Line variant flying.

      Yes this guy is the same way from what I know. When Israel started bombing Gaza he had Israeli flags and a homemade sign saying “kill every Palestinians.”
