You are part of the problem though? You are engaging into political sorting and assuming that because your neighbors are Republican, that they would be uncomfortable with pride flags. Do you even know if they are Republican? How do you know they are not in danger of their safety? What if they are LGBT and support police? What if they are Jewish and support police? So what if they are Republican and support police and they are uncomfortable around pride flags, but its because of their assumptions. The same assumptions and political sorting you are engaging in.

Also assuming vast parts of the country are unsafe because they are mostly Repulican, whereas you would be equally likely to be subject to hate crimes in major cities in blue states no? https://abc7ny.com/hate-crime-lgbtq-new-york-city-pride-mont...

What is terrifying about being a blue collar worker anyhow? Also I fail to see how UBI nad national healthcare would solve it.

What would fix it is less hatred and animosity between groups, and less sorting into groups period. Less apocalyptic rhetoric from all groups. The world isn't ending, its actually doing pretty well for the most part. Being proud to be American. And honestly, people should stop flying a pride flag or a thin blue line flag or any other flag, but the one flag which represents all people in this great country: the flag of the United States of America. That is the only true, completely inclusive flag of this country.
