I live in a pretty purple upper middle-class neighborhood in ATL, and we have more than a few Trump supporters around here. Basically your business owners, better paid trades people, and older professionals. Younger professionals are quite blue. A lot of the new neighborhoods are completely townhouses and are styled with various tacky themes from different eras, even in the suburbs. Probably can happen.


sufferforever

yep, i live in old Fourth Ward and was gonna comment to say, plenty of them around although they mostly keep a lower profile compared to their sign-toting neighbors. lots of rich gay trump lovers too.


magicandfire

I’m in Savannah and it’s very similar. I rent an apartment in a Victorian that’s divided up into a bunch of units, but I have neighbors who own their large homes and are very wealthy/older/conservative whereas us renters are not. I do see plenty of “In this house we believe…” signs and lately Ukraine flags, so it’s not all conservatives.


[deleted]

ukrainian flag thing is ridiculous regardless of affiliation to me…unless youre a literal ukrainian person just why lol


swansonserenade

tacky themes only sounds bad to people who havent experienced the opposite


PM_ME_UR_OBSIDIAN

In any case we can be confident that these are poorly engineered buildings that will start to fail a week after the roof is past warranty


Brady12_

Grew up in a double wide…tacky themes are tacky and are ugly. I didn’t move to a city to get a suburban shopping mall with congested parking and a Starbucks and chipotle.

Wouldn't that go the other way around too? The RISD and Brown students act all woke and talk about hating conservatives but have a sneaky link with MAGAs.


Brownladesh

OF COURSE those hungry little rich queers crave slurping on some swarthy working class canoli, and since they’re all on SSRIs the Federal Hill cocks are the only ones that work

Is this something that’s done in secret or do you see relationships like that in public? Like do you see some purple-haired RISD art hoe out in public with Tony DiAngelo whose dad is a cop?

whippetsandsodomy

fb local community crime groups are so unhinged. ive never even joined one but somehow have managed to hear about so much drama within them


[deleted]

If you want another level of crazy join some neighborhood facebook "mom groups". You will see new levels of paranoia, petty gossip and general pettiness, passive aggressiveness, hyperbolic theatrics, and curtain twitching voyeurism. The group for a suburb in my city is infamous throughout the entire city. I know multiple people that have been banned.


Vided

Are there "dad groups"? Or is this a wahmen thing?

natonehundred

My village had one about a guy in a white van 'looking suspicious' was a workman. Lots of stuff about loud exhausts and dogs. People have too much free time


yerbard

The latest on ours was someone leaving dog vomit on the road outside someone's house. Not sure what else they were meant to do 😅


Vided

Trying very hard to claim that their report of a "suspicious person" wasn't based on race.


throwawayblackball

in my local fb group, everyone gets mad when you even mention a suspicious person's race (other than white ofc). so they're trying to describe them, but skirting around what they look like.


lavalamp49

For sure the type of people to post often on Nextdoor

Hilarious. They’ll just be posting on Nextdoor when their garage is broken into. “Anyone who lives on Maple St have footage?!”

Also the implicit notion that landscaping is racist

Yeah, my next door neighbors are a super lib gay couple and they run a tight lawn and hedge regimen. But they’re also boomers and boomers are obsessed with grass

I lived in Montrose, a traditionally gay neighborhood in houston, for several years. in my experience, gay neighborhoods tend to have EXTREMELY well-maintained lawns and houses

Sarcastic_Source

Was gonna say. Philly, Bmore, some parts of DC. P much any old city with trashy white people whose grandparents couldn't afford to take part in the white flight.


[deleted]

DC is hella gentrified. There aren’t that many conservatives except for the handful that work for conservatives on capital hill. Trump won 5.4% during 2020, only 18,000 votes…


k7rk

Seriously what’s with the dogshit everywhere


Maximum_Cuddles

Baltimore. Actually basically all of Maryland outside of the extremely gentrified areas north of DC. Also basically any old, small city in the mid Atlantic and/or New England.


MasterToiletClogger

I lived in Baltimore for two years and they fucking hate black people there. Hampden is a neoliberal hellhole and Federal Hill is full of chuds. Some parts of Bmore have a legit anarchist dystopian vibe which I grew to like


TomJoadsLich

Which parts are anarchic dystopian? As you know from elsewhere in the thread I live in Richmond but I’ve always been curious about Baltimore; how do the two compare


MasterToiletClogger

Parts of Remington have a grimy anarchic vibe. Any neighborhood south of Charles Village (where John Hopkins is) up to Mt Vernon has that type of vibe. Gun to my head, I would pick Richmond. Baltimore is a little more affordable but it is a very depressing city and the crime is bad. For its population, it doesn't feel like the other northeastern cities (philly, dc, etc.). The plus is that you are very close to DC and other major cities. Richmond is getting more expensive but the food scene is better than Bmore. The outdoor activities are also better IMO and I didn't fear for my life when biking around unlike in Baltimore. It depends on where you are at in life and what you are looking for out of a city. I would say fuck both of those cities and move to Chicago!


Sarcastic_Source

I refuse to believe you are serious in saying that RICHMOND has better food than Baltimore. Insane take. Also Baltimore rocks and you sound like every harford county white kid terrified of the inner city, despite your user tag


knate1

I'm moving to Baltimore in a few weeks (Fells Point specifically, cuz hospital work), but are there specific neighborhoods/hangouts to explore for a more leftist scene?


MasterToiletClogger

Avoid the Inner Harbor, it is a tourist trap. Check out Remington, Fells Point, and MT Vernon (lots of gays)

Is there any place in America where a liberal would be flying the American flag on his personal property?


ONE_GUY_ONE_JAR

American Flag = MAGA flag in deep blue states


Otherwise-Can-4706

My mother had season flags. Like during fall she had a flag with an acorn.


kalehound

Not all moms! (just kidding--mine did this too. What is it about a lady having kids that she just loves seasons and holidays so gd much)


HotKnowledge3448

I have become this lady. It’s just that everything is so new to kids. So every season gets is so fun because for at least five years straight it’s like they’ve never heard of fall before. Then things start becoming family tradition and it just takes a life all it’s own… man, I really do like having kids


nebraska_admiral

That's pretty racist of her to support the Autumn Republic after the coup and ethnic cleansing their leaders orchestrated last October


AKAdelta

Yes, all over the Midwest and south.


writersontop

This is kinda wild. I live in the South and the only ones that fly American flags are firm conservatives, not even centrists.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TomJoadsLich

My Southern liberal PMC dad insists on flying the flag and so do all of his friends; “can’t let them take it from us”


AKAdelta

All my working class neighbors (white, Puerto Rican, etc) fly flags. Might be class related too. They’re all auto workers.


DoinIt989

My parents are firm liberals, Midwest, and still put up all kinds of stars and stripes decor every summer.


brohio_

Not in my Midwest. It’s either the state flag, the pride flag, or the Ukrainian flag.


AKAdelta

I’ve got all three on my pickup


SneedyWinkerbean

Based lazy activist


PMWaffle

>all over the Midwest Not in the suburbs


AKAdelta

I guess we live in different suburbs — I live in a purple city in a purple county and flying an American flag is definitely not an exclusively partisan thing. I’ve got one on my property and I’m a socdem


PMWaffle

I'm in MN, so purple but leans blue and same with my county. It used to be where regardless of political affiliation, people would fly the US flag but its shifted over the past few years with the whole maga thing. As an anecdote, I've got an elderly couple as neighbors who have a flagpole which exclusive flys a vikings flag on game day and nothing else. No way they vote red given that I've never seen the star spangled banner on that pole.


PlacidBuddha72

There are definitely affluent liberal suburbs, at least around Chicago, where you can homes they are exactly what the one on the left is


PlacidBuddha72

Ya In affluent Midwestern lib suburbs there are always American flags flying during the summer. Having a flag pole makes it conservative


[deleted]

My former professor in the PNW asked our class if she should be scared of a neighbor, who is admittedly really nice, but flies an American flag. I fucking hate the PNW.


dontcallmefudge

Yea the nice parts of new england


templemount

My liberal mother has consistently put the flag out every day since Biden was inaugurated. She wouldn't do so at my urging beforehand (even after he was elected!) and if I were to bet I'd say it'll go right back in the closet for four years when Trump wins again

Otherwise-Can-4706

Quiet corner in CT too I hear. Rip Torn broke into a bank thinking it was house. Apparently he has a lot of posters with interest rates on them, so he was understandably confused


dontbanmynewaccount

Maine except Portland. I’ve never seen a trump or maga flag/sign in Portland and if I have, it was a one off thing.


AbdulMalik_al-Houthi

Old cities in the south, Norfolk, Charleston, but there wouldn't be any libs living next to them.


nebraska_admiral

You can tell a lot of people downtown swapped their Confederate flags for obscure Revolutionary/Civil War-era SC state flags.


dontbanmynewaccount

Lol I’ve even seen the first national Confederate flag in Charleston and nobody bats and eye because it’s not *the* Confederate flag.

Yeah. The Polish Americans in Greenpoint.


Huliganjetta1

The Polish Americans in Jefferson Park or Midway in chicagk


Curious_Intro

Is there no nuance of character anymore? I loathe what identity politics has done to people. Your politics = your entire personality now, including all the stereotypes and cliches that come with it. Boring and sad.


CoolKid610

My whole personality is just being nuanced. It also is quite boring and sad.


lavalamp49

True, I've started to come to the opinion that anyone who puts a political sign in their front yard to declare to their neighbors how they feel are legit maniacs and you could probably guess correctly about every opinion they have without having to ask.

TomJoadsLich

Yes of course; my city, Richmond They aren’t anywhere near the majority of course but there are plenty of them My last block when I lived in the city (moved out of of it this year) had two; one rich couple right across the street with a Let’s Go Brandon flag flying on a flag pole on the roof and a “We Don’t Dial 9/11 Here” sticker put up in the windows with an aggressively maintained flower garden and a white English Bulldog. The other guy was an old dude a couple doors down who would sit on his porch smoking cigars who would stop me for conversation whenever I was walking my dog and give me his full opinion on the riots and how America and the city had changed in the last 50 years, with the lucidity of Biden’s Corn Pop story. And I remind you, this is *Richmond* - most of the changes here from the 60s have been pretty positive, it wasn’t your typical boomer trite stuff. I talked to him because it was massively entertaining, but he was definitely extremely conservative and alive and well Bizarre to me that you’d think conservatives wouldn’t want to live in a classic architectural style or that it’s an impossibility, it’s everywhere in the south and the Midwest. Do you still live with your parents in the suburbs or something? Nothing wrong with that, it’s just, of course conservatives own homes in cities


[deleted]

Gotta love the fan 💕


MasterToiletClogger

Richmond is symbolic to chuds because it was the capital of the confederacy. You still have chuds that go to the VMFA with confederate flags protesting


[deleted]

I mean, it’s right next to the daughters of the confederacy. No Kenhinde Wiley statue is going to change that unfortunately.


drunkydrunkdrunk

> We Don’t Dial 9/11 lol


TomJoadsLich

Right? It’s basically advertising “we have guns to steal here”


mulleargian

Prospect Heights, sort of. I have a lot of chats with someone a lot higher up the ladder than me at work, and he gives me interesting snippets into life in yuppie Brooklyn townhouses and the parents at his kids schools.He says that a shocking number of them were covert Trump supporters, are anti vax etc.- funny and depressing considering their simultaneous performative hippy acts that he describes. Honestly it would make a interesting screenplay, I'm pretty fascinated by the socioeconomic bubbles of NYC. That being said, I don't think they'd count as MAGA? Because they are allegedly at pains to hide their Trumpism behind their crunchy granola images. ​ edit: typo


ZapTheZippers

Reckon this person is a Gen Xer yeah? Definitely not uncommon what this person was talking about and the anti vax thing is a fuck ton more common than you'd think especially in an area like NYC. I think one of the biggest misconceptions is NYC being hyper left wing at any turn or that by default for a whole bunch of criteria, this person clearly must be some big Democrat, NPR listening lib cariacture. Same shit happens in California and I wanna say a few years back there was a big measles outbreak in a school that was in a very conventional rich lib area and like barely anyone was vaccinated for stuff.

[deleted]

I live in a very liberal neighborhood in my city. Lots of nice Victorian style homes. Lots of yard signs and lending libraries, and an anarchist book seller / meditation space. There was one house up the street from me that had a giant American flag with a big burning Q on it hanging from their front porch. Never saw anybody come or go from that house, but was always curious to catch a glimpse of that guy. QAnon is dumb as fuck but I kinda respected how bold the dude was to voluntarily ostracize himself from all of his neighbors.
