| New family moved in next door, fwiw we live in N. arlington. They have small children(similar in age to mine) and I met the mom and she seemed lovely. i noticed her husbands car this evening has "don't tread on me" license plate and a real tree(I think) bumper sticker. My husband said they are probably rednecks and very pro-gun. Would you still get to know this family or stay away? |

| He probably likes to sport hunt and/or was in the military. He may be the best neighbor ever. Unlike you... |

| Well the last neighbor we had (CCDC) with that don't tread on me flag at his house turned out to be a pedophile that is doing time after the feds busted him for online child porn so I'm a little biased now. I used to think they were pro-gun xenophobic freaks, but now I think worse. |

| Teabagger type who voted for Trump because they think he's "not your regular politician" but too dumb to realize he is the EPITOME of the establishment. |

Here's an 8-pager! http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/643764.page OP, what's a real tree (I think) bumper sticker? |

It's typically associated with the Tea Party. But my DH was in a military unit that used that slogan (in Hawaii, I think?). I think the flag was originally flown during the American Revolution,if I remember correctly.
In other words, I'm not sure I would judge neighbors based on a license plate. |

| Op here- The mom didn't seem very "redneck" and her kids were extremely polite. I'm not going to lie though, I have never seen anyone wear or display the "don't tread on me" sign that wasn't racist or very uneducated. Not judge mental as much as uneducated. |

I am guessing you don't talk to many people unless they are just like you? |

DH has a tea party plate. I really like real tree. He went to Yale undergrad/Harvard law. I went to Williams. We didn't vote for Trump, because, as PP indicated, he is the establishment (and because I don't think he is a good role model for our children). DH has guns though. And I am pretty judgmental, especially about people who call others uneducated immediately before misspelling "judgmental". Oh. And DH isn't white. |
