It's a couple month's old tweet by a reporter.

Fascinating politics up here in Ellsworth, Maine.

You know, as great as that is, I will never understand "fellow Americans" who put their politics on their lawn. Idk maybe it's from being trans and knowing history. But the one place I don't want people to know my politics on sight is where I sleep at night.

and the poster even put the town, making it 100x easier for anyone who wants to doxx the address. it's just not wise to confront the state on your front lawn

I've only seen one Iran-related thing locally. A house with a scrap metal artist is flying the Iranian monarchist flag. Every inch of the yard is filled with rusty Willy Wonka-ass sculptures and right in the middle is the Lion and Sun flying by itself. They don't have any other political stuff on their home or car. I can't figure out what they mean by it or whose side they're taking.

Freedom of speech? Liberal rights? Why sure you're allowed that mate. We're not 'authoritarian' hahaha! But only on things that don't materially matter.
