Nope, not wrong. But you should gently enlighten him as to why.

Disclose that such a display, if ever, ever seen by residents of property would create an inhospitable environment. It's not that you are taking it personally, which it would be appropriate to reveal you are, because of reasons one through thirty-eight. But because you pride yourself on a work/life environment that focuses on the things we have in common.

Which every Pro-Trump party refuses to acknowledge is a huge weakness and problem.

  - Last time I was in Portland, I saw a pack of "Proud Boys" parading down the sidewalk looking for someone to protest them. - Mop Aug 2, 09:01

- Agreed. Don't mention it at all. -- nm - MDH Aug 2, 08:52
- Agreed. Just debating on if I will talk to him about it or simply phase him out. -- nm - Spawn Aug 2, 08:49 1
  - Just phase him out. Little chance the conversation will have any results, to be honest. (NM) - Marlowe Aug 2, 09:18
