Thank you! Finally a diagnosis for so many of us, feeling overwhelmed, often helpless and depressed, even though we may be active voters, activists and working for Democracy. Weathering. Started for me when TFG, trump was elected and escalated daily until what felt like a culmination on January 6. That day, while watching the Televised political show, next door to my attached condominium, a beat-up pickup drove up with a Trump flag, confederate flag and a string noose hanging from the tail end. The driver stayed for months. Polite and cleancut. In our community only American flags are allowed to be displayed on the building. No rule about what is displayed from a vehicle. I won’t describe the next months, but even after he moved on, the terror and angst had become permanent residents. I’m active socially and politically, especially in Children’s and women’s Rights, but this daily assault has moved in. Permanently? I hope not. Weathering is real. And I already would never wear my star of david necklace identification as a Jewish person, in our downtown mainstreet, in my Northern California small town. I’m not paranoid, but I am cautious.
If American flags only, are permitted in your condo, (condo..A Frank Luntz code for apartment), the problem is your owner (I assume that you are a renter, not an owner, if an owner then an HOA) I would find someplace else to live, and read the rules and regulations carefully before you move in.
I lived in a leased condo for about 6 months, took over someone elses lease, then discovered I could not put up a satellite dish (the corporate owner had a deal with Comcast)
The dish could not stick out from the side of the building, but fortunately my unit was placed such, that from my little porch (inset) I had a clear view of the satellites used,so I made my own mast and stuck my dish antenna on it. Someone reported me, probably the Comcast installer,so I had the manager come up and check,voila my dish was completely inside the exterior of the building.
My wife went to college in Santa Rosa, and is well acquainted with northern California.
Marijuana growers and old hippies and paradoxically Trump humpers and right wing

I would have set that flag on fire 😂
