I don’t know what to do about it....
Leave it alone, its none of your business.

It’s like a big middle finger, whether they know it or not....
no, its nothing of the sort.

I’d like to put up a Biden sign, or a “Hate Has No Home Here” sign, to at least show the other neighbors, the people who drive by, and the delivery people that we don’t share our neighbor’s politics....
Nobody cares what you think. Do not be vain, a narcissist

But is that just an escalation? A middle finger to his middle finger?
Yes, you are acting and thinking like a thuggish bully.

By putting up my own sign, and then seeking affirmation for that sign from strangers on social media,
Why do you seek affirmation from complete strangers? Whatsamadder with you? What if the affirmation is coming from Russian Bots?

Am I adding to the division in this country.
Absolutely, you are the problem

..because it might fray my relationship with my neighbor..
Maybe, you should leave you bias at home and get to know your neighbour at a human being level.

But then they’d be useless 75% of the time.

That's why you separate them in different barracks, so you'll always have one platoon ready at all times.

Apocryphal. Same guy wrote the question and the response.

Liberals always engage in projection. It’s their defining interaction with conservatives.

I see dozens of Trumps signs every day.

I’ve seen just one Biden sign at a neighbor’s. They also put up the only BLM/gay sign I’ve seen.

Liberal Neighbor and David Holmes obviously have serious issues with free speech.

If a campaign sign causes them that much angst, they need to move to one of the many socialist paradise nations that strongly support their need for groupthink.

I once asked the question about my neighbors who put a Hillary 2016 placard in their window.

That is good. Needs a bit of editing to make it more concise, but it hits the main point (that the MSM won’t touch) hard: For all his faults, Donald Trump is an American - not an enemy of the Republic.

Stack kindling against it and light the fire. Show your open mindedness by demonstrating that intolerance will not be tolerated anywhere!

That answer was way too reasonable.

C’mon, man!

I know, I know. I'm nothing but a pony-faced dog soldier.

Or something like that...
