The trump sign probably only came down so they could put it back up at whatever trailer park they move into. They’ll gladly vote for the next trump-aligned fascist. These people are incapable of learning.
Yup. Realtor likely took it down because any political flag will devalue a house or turn away potential buyers.
Gonna be complaining DEI made him lose his job and Biden's taxes made him lose his house
It's kind of scary that 3 weeks is all it took for them to list their home.

The neighbor is part of the (in 2019) 51%.
"Most Working Americans Would Face Economic Hardship If They Missed More than One Paycheck"
And on top of that for most government workers their paychecks have been remarkably stable. Assuming you'll always be employed plus easy credit and bad financial habits are a bad combination
Man, that's tragic. I was poor most of my early life, and when I finally started to make enough money to be comfortable, I knew that the thing I couldn't do was fall into the lifestyle trap. Living well below my means saved me so much hardship when things weren't going well. I know that many don't ever get to the point of comfortable, though, and there's a bit of luck and effort, to that.
The fact that this guy posts this on X with a paid-for blue checkmark tells you everything about why Trump won and why he'll keep winning. The left has made almost no effort to win the information space. They just lose and then celebrate when some of the harm falls back on MAGA.
How about his for a change: Win. Try to win. Stop kowtowing to right wing information propaganda spaces that stifle the left like X, Fox News, and Rogan. Fight them like the right fights the left in the information space. True, you won't get to celebrate when your neighbor suffers from Trump, but it'll be because he didn't vote Trump in the first place.
This is a liberal account, he's not a leftist. Leftists have been in the streets, while liberals remain in the tweets.
I saw the "Dems are the Uvalde cops Magas are the shooters." And goddamn it salpped ever since. You guys need to get a real 3rd party that is real grassroots socialist.
We really need a Herman Cain Award for Trumpers who have lost their livelihoods. I used to love the old compilations of dozens of posts only to have the inevitable "COVID ain't no joke".

That's a little big, but not too far off from the actual world's smallest violin
How the fuck did democrats go from the party that hates misinformation to the party that believes implausible posts on a platform known to be full nonsense because it fits a cute narrative?
Trump crap was taken down on any neighbor’s homes (and there weren’t many) except one (and they have it kinda hidden) after 2020. Anyone supporting Trump at this point is an idiot, cruel, or both.
Agent Krasnov is, by ALL objective measures, the most prolific Traitor in American history. In fact, he has probably caused more damage than ALL other American traitors COMBINED.
At this point, anyone who still supports HitlerPig is as much an authentic traitor as he is. I only wish the very worst outcomes for them. Losing their jobs and homes is the mildest punishment they deserve.
I operate a business, and I havent had to hire anyone lately. But if I were, I would absolutely ask them who they supported for president in 2020 and 2024, which is perfectly legal. Anyone who voted for HitlerPig would be immediately, and rudely, be rejected. I won't employ anyone with such obviously poor Critical Thinking Skills.
What's FAFO?
F Around and find out
You can say fuck. It's okay.
Fuck around and f out
Fuck around and fag out? Is this how people realise they're gay?
This is the first time I've come across "fag" on Lemmy and I'm really glad it was used for a reclaiming joke
I get the hate, but I just can't bring myself to be happy about someone losing their home.
If this were a normal, fairly subjective disagreement, I'd feel the same way.
If this were a medium level disagreement and they were objectively wrong, I'd also feel the same way.
Supporting Trump is stunningly, objectively wrong, and in doing so they're basically doing the opposite of this. They're supporting lots of people losing a lot more than their homes.
I fully support being happy about it.
This person was happy to screw other people over and voted for it. The fact that they're reaping the results of the hate they sewed makes me happy and I don't feel the least bit bad about it.
In every rational situation, I would fully agree. But this man elected someone who told them, to their face, that they would be downsizing the government. The WORKED for the government. I want to call it stupidity, but it was maliciousness that backfired, so yeah. Fuck em.
happy
I think the only reason people ever say things like this make them 'happy' is in the absence of a more accurate label.
In a country devoid of legal justice, we've basically just been confronted by a thug who, while attempting to mug us at gunpoint, shot his own dick off when he was attempting to pull the firearm from his pants.
So for the victim, there's a degree of relief that the threat from that specific thug is now over (unfortunately we're being simultaneously mugged by thousands of other identical thugs...), a complete lack of empathy for the thug from the victim (if you put my life in danger, I suddenly don't give a single fuck about the quality or preservation of yours); and a recognition of the comical irony of the thug's own weapon being the thing that disabled him.
Against the contrast we've grown accustomed to of getting mugged and watching our assailants face zero consequences, the above stands out as uniquely positive, albeit morbid.
Another angle: if you've persisted on dirty, sewage contaminated water your entire life; then get the opportunity to drink a glass of pure, clean water, you might call it sweet even if it isn't literally so; it just seems that way relative to the vile biohazard you're used to.
So, happiness? No. The closest we'll be able to get to happiness? Yeah, probably.
I bet his flag is down just for selling purposes. He probably blames Joe Biden.
Please remember it is important to not gloat or "I told you so". This person, for a reason of which does not matter, has decided to exit the cult. This person needs support and praise for their bravery. I don't care if it is for a selfish reason.... ultimately they made it out, their mind is free! That is cause for celebration.
Is there any evidence they decided to exit the cult? People will paint the walls beige when selling a house, and that doesn't mean they don't still like whatever red and green Christmas themed house they had to start with. Pulling down a flag while selling the house you can't afford doesn't actually mean you wouldn't still vote for him.
All my Trump neighbors are rental tenants so they get shuffled in and out every year by their landlords. A few MAGA banner fliers as well as a few families with small kids all got kicked out my neighborhood this last year for Sale signs to go up.
They were tricked by a propaganda machine. They may have been willing participants but had they known everything they never would have voted against their own interests. Yet every country in the western hemisphere, South America, Africa, Asia, and well everywhere doesn't have anti propaganda laws. If you're rich you can buy influence in any neo liberal country. Why is that?
How do you construct anti-propaganda laws that can't be used by bad actors to silence dissent? Genuine question if you have an answer but I don't think anyone actually does. The only actual counter to propaganda is quality education, which is where the US has been failing dramatically.
God I hope this is real.
Thots and pears.
