My neighbor facing federal J6 charges has an upside down flag hanging from his house. I took a picture. We had a discussion. It was gross; but I also think it was good.
Great Article. Thanks for sharing your experience, and for taking the time to engage with your neighbors and calmly challenge their betrayal of the country (on J6) and their disrespect for the flag.
It is telling that this couple engaged in middle school taunts. They seem to have no understanding of what truly makes this country great. When they don't get their way in an election, they believe they are justified in putting others in danger, injuring police and attempting to disenfranchise voters who disagree with them (I'm assuming this wife supports her husband's actions).
If you fly an American flag upside down in your neighborhood, be prepared that others will take photos, ask questions and disapprove. Does that bother you? Boo Hoo. From what I've seen the truest projection from the MAGA crowd is when they call others snowflakes. They get so upset when confronted with their duplicity.
I hope you have more opportunities to continue the discussion with them. In particular, I’d like to hear them distinguish between what they want for themselves and what they want to do to others. While I suspect these are not particularly introspective folks, at their core their desires for themselves may not differ much from any of us.
Please be very careful. Unfortunately, they remind me of the irrational, hateful "people" I lost a brother to when I was a child (I am in my 60's now).

J6ers are not patriots and they should be held accountable for their actions.
Wonderful article. I frequently wear pro Dem shirts but that's it and men try to debate me in Publix.
I don't go there. Worthless waste of my time.
(1) You're such a thoughtful writer.
(2) I hope you will respond to Mark Lo.
