My love of our flag and my desire to continue to fly it is in conflict with my desire to avoid anyone looking at our home and thinking "MAGA" or anything even remotely adjacent. I think the bottom line for me is that it does feel jingoistic -- at least for me -- in the current climate. So I'll take it down. I really need to do something anyway, the flag is faded enough that I can't really leave it in it's current condition even if I were to want an American flag there. (The "No trespassing" thing is definitely coming down, lol. No one is going to trespass back here anyway, so I find it weird that the prior owners of the house felt the need to put that there.)
You could always do a state flag.
