We moved into a new house that sits on five wooded acres, and it has a very long driveway and you can't see it from the road, and at the entry to the driveway is an American flag hanging on a tree, and beneath it a "Do Not Trespass" sign. It was there when we moved in. Our house is very hard to find, and whenever an uber comes, or a someone doing work on the house or whatever, they truly cannot find our house, but if I explain there is a flag at the driveway it really helps them find us. So. We've kept it there for now. Looked at replacing it with seasonal flags, but they don't make a lot of those for the kind of flagpole we have.

I generally think it's silly to fly the flag in front of your house, and 98% of people that do have no idea how to do it properly. We don't except for a few days around July 4.
We're both military veterans, so it has nothing to do with a misguided sense of patriotism of dislike of the US.
