that they are probably very mean toward another segment of the population. You "belong", even if they know you don't support TSF, so they will not treat you badly, outwardly anyway. But if they are MAGA and particularly if they are educated - then they are downright MEAN to some other groups of people. Probably completely callous to the plight of immigrants, for example.

I live in a similar neighborhood and it is wealthy enough (not "don't need a job" wealthy, but "someone in this house has a GOOD job" wealthy) that I have to assume those that put up Trump signs are MEAN, not stupid. Because there aren't that many GOOD jobs one can get in this country that didn't require someone to have at least a little smarts. If they are smart enough to live here, they should have been smart enough to see what TSF was about, and that it is evil.
