How should I feel about the fact that my next door neighbors put a Youngkin board on their lawn?

Lol, having an opinion about your neighbors expressing their opinion totally = fascism. Good call.

What an odd question to ask. How are other people supposed to know how you should feel about something?

You're presumably an adult. Feel however you want to feel.

This is like asking other people what you should have for breakfast.

Are you asking if voting for Youngkin = Trump supporter? Yes, it does.

The concern I have about Youngkin is that too many voters are too stupid to realize how crazy and craven he is. I'm really worried that he's going to win.

I'm 100% sure my neighbor voted for Trump and will vote for Youngkin. We're cordial because we need to be, but we're not going to be good friends. Thankfully they don't put up signs and neither do we.

Can someone explain what being alcoholic has to do with this?

Right? Imagine actually having a Youngkin supporter living right next door. Shudder.

You sound insane. For starters, your kid is *3*. Then, *it’s only a mask.* You sound like that blubbering white Karen in the viral video crying about her DD’s teachers not being able to see her beautiful face.

Anyway, what a strange political issue to drive your vote. Weird and fringe.

Not so strange. Masks have germs settle on them and kids breathing that for hours. It is a daily washing for the parents. Chance of getting detention because you pulled your mask down to drink water. Yes kids can manage, but it shouldn't be needed.

Me too.

I was pleasantly surprised to see a decent amount in my Vienna neighborhood!

Yes it would be horrible. I bet those types were trying to burn down the Capitol on Jan 6th or some other neo- white supremacists thing.

Read this. "should we be more careful in our interactions going forward?" This has to be a troll post.

Terry McAuliffe isn’t doing himself any favors when he says things like parents shouldn’t control what their children are being taught in school. I’m honestly not happy with either candidate and don’t know what to do on voting day. They’re both appalling.

You should treat them with kindness and neighborliness just the same as you would a McAliffe supporter. You don't know if McAliffe slept with his ex or if he is ex-military or what. As someone who spent 4 years in Charlottesville, I promise you all the worst bigots 'have Black ("Uncle Tom") or Asian ("Uncle Tamagotchi") friends' or some on-paper not in-practice writeoff ("What? I'm an anti-Trumper!").

I'd suggest that you should become a functioning adult. Putting up a Youngkin sign isn't some act of racist aggression. It is them supporting a mainstream candidate. If that is emotionally overwhelming to you, then it might be time to seek help.
