9. I live in a blue neighborhood adjacent to a red area, and around the 24 election

Thu Oct 16, 2025, 01:21 PM

Thursday

there were about five houses in my neighborhood who were flying some variation of a Trump flag.
In the months after the election, they came down one by one, with one holdout. I passed the house the other day for the first time in a few weeks and the Trump flag was down. So all the Trump flags are gone now.

What I’m seeing more of these days are California state flags.
