I want to find someone that sells telescoping flag poles. I'm not talking something that bolts on the side of your house. I'm talking one of those big, free-standing, in-ground flag poles. I want to get one of those, but telescoping. The vast majority of the time, I fly the flag with the flag at the top of the undeployed mast. When someone deserving of memorializing dies, I lower the flag halfway down the mast. When some asshole like Charlie Kirk dies, I extend the telescoping pole and fly the flag at double mast.

I've been considering getting a flagpole just for combat with my MAGA neighbors. Getting one higher than any of the ones they have.

I will admit, they all have stopped flying their Trump flags in the last few months, only the American flag on those poles now. And one even recently replaced the flag that was wind damaged a few weeks ago, so that's a conscious change to only fly the one flag. At least it's a step in the right direction, however small.

Fly the biggest fucking American flag you feasibly canm Or a pole with like 10 of them on there. Make it SUPER obnoxious, maybe they'll get the hint.

This is a good idea but to ratchet it up a notch fly flags of nations that no longer exist, houses from medieval England, just absolute nonsense.

It will be obnoxious and fucking incomprehensible to your neigjbours. Also it will be straight up incomprehensible because it makes no sense.
