The funny part is that 3 of the 4 families are mixed race or children of immigrants.
I’d assume it’s pretty common in America.
Extremely common.
Republicans are just in denial.
They’re not in denial, they’re intentionally distorting the facts to push a narrative that POC and immigrants are bad.
It’s the only move they’ve got left, and it’s usually a favorite of fascist policies/agendas, so historically, it works well for their base.
It’s not just extremely common, it’s nearly the entire population.
99% of all americans have either a great grandparent, a grandparent, or a parent who’s foreign born, or are themselves a foreign born citizen/permanent resident.
We are the nationless state, and the state of all nations.
They prefer gene puddles rather than pools.
Yet the bottom half of that picture is trying to convince everyone that America was great when we had racial segregation
Tbf, if you didn’t know who these people were, none of them look like they’d necessarily be bad neighbors just on account of this picture. Trump even looks uncharacteristically friendly here, and Vance just looks like some random Joe out in the yard with his family
I mostly agree except for Don’s sons who look like a couple of badgers doing their best human impression.
That’s kind of offensive to badgers.
I’m offended they’re actually human.
This is also a fair point.
You know, I dunno. The Vance family looks like they’d be fine neighbors. They just go through a lot of couches.
Everyone would see when Vance kicks another one of his harlots to the curb for trash day.

I can relate to the walz trying to take a pic with pets. That dog is 100% squirming
That dog is 100% a BUM. One time he managed to get himself locked in a room in the governer’s mansion, and the fire department had to be called to get him out.
This was his face on being rescued:
Look at this unrepentant little asshole. 15/10, I love him, perfect dog.
TBF, those antique doorknob lock things have always been tricky to operate. He doesn’t even have thumbs! I’m pretty sure that I’m the only one of the kids that didn’t accidentally lock themselves in the bathroom of the house we had that had that style of door knobs and locks, and that was only because I taught myself how to pick locks by the age of two.
First he has to have his Dreamcast taken away, now this! Is there no limit to the depths of depravity this man and his dog will sink to??
If Kamala and Walz are my neighbors, we’re gonna bully the shit out of Walz about spice levels at the next neighborhood cookout and have a grand old time.
Conversely, I’d probably go bankrupt from bullshit lawsuits over the maintenance of my lawn if I was stuck between the other two.

The only ones who don’t look like my actual neighbors are the Trumps. But the dudes who look like JD tend to be huge tabletop gaming nerds and/or homebrewers and not, you know, weird.
Not sure why you’re being downvoted; that is an uncharacteristically normal photo at the bottom right. He looks human.
It’s honestly the most normal he’s ever looked to me in a photo.
And if I’m getting downvoted by the table top gamers/homebrewers for implying their personalities are anything like JD Vance’s, I apologize.

Same here. I’ve been weird my entire life, but more like tabletop gamers are weird and not at all like how conservatives are weird. Hopefully one day I’ll be rich/old enough to be called eccentric instead.
Vance dead eyed fish smiles like the guy who drives all the women away from the game.
Heh. No, my neighbors should be working class people who simply want to enjoy the small amount of time we have here on earth. Each one of these people look like they would send me letters about how my lawn exceeds the HOA permitted length.
So in this analogy you’re picking…?
Mayor Pete, ok he might call the hoa on me but I also get to live in the same neighborhood as mayor pete
a black woman is going to call the HOA on you?
Yes? Being a black woman doesn’t prevent you from being an asshole. The vice president of my HOA is a black woman so I’m not sure what you’re trying to imply here.
I could absolutely see it, since although HOAs initially were created to keep black people out of white suburbs, they’re now another tool that the wealthy use to keep oppressing anyone less wealthy than they are. And Harris is wealthy enough to fit in at that kind of neighborhood.
Walz on the other hand, I could see offering to mow your lawn for you when it gets too long, and sitting on the HOA in order to keep it from having the type of people who use rulers to measure their lawns.
I didn’t say that
I don’t want rich people as neighbors. They’re usually obnoxious.
Dogs, case closed
Yeah, and they live on the same block, only a few houses over.
lol I would pay actual money to see trump live on my street for one year.
For one thing, houses here were selling for 20-80k 10 years ago, so people without much money live here. (My neighbor bought his place for 25k in 2018, it needed a lot of work, sure, but all the same. Mine was 60 as a foreclosure in 2013 - 40k+ is a good yearly salary here…
The renovated laundromat kiddie-corner to me is rented out by four black/hispanic families, and the kids are always playing in the street on bikes, boards, and scooters, the other end of the block is an unknown number of Hmong sharing a house (they have 6 vehicles between them, and I’m pretty sure they converted the garage to living space), there’s a 30-some-yo with downs that rides his trike around the block 6 times a day every day, talking to everyone very loudly, and the house across from me just sold to a big black family.
That’s just what I know about; I keep to myself. There are 8 additional buildings with unknown entities. He’d hate it. I’d love it.
That’s good to hear. Heard too many stories of people complaining there’s no neighbourly communities anymore, that kids spend all their time on phones. We have a similar thing going on here but a lot us are still new at this whole thing.
I’m too old to know what kids are doing most of the time, tbh, but the kids on my street spend most of their time outside, tons of kids walk to and from school, it’s just a pleasant, generally low-key area. It helps that half my local area is dead ends due to the train tracks a couple blocks away in any direction, so not a lot of street traffic, emboldening kids to play outside.
The majority of people of whom I am aware on my street are really nice and neighborly, or at least leave me alone, but it’s a rural-ish area and there are people who think laws don’t apply to them and their dogs… those people suck. The rest tho… my neighbor mowed my lawn for a year for me when I was sort of not capable myself, because he saw I had a company coming out and wanted to save me money, so now we sort of share the part of our lots that meet; because he mows it and I don’t have to think about it, I let him use it to store shit outside of his fence, even tho it’s mostly my property that I’m not using anyway. The old dude who used to mow in his tightie-whities gave me half a garden bed of lettuce because it overgrew. Just came up to my door one day with a bowl of dirty salad and said “here, it’s butter crisp. If you want more I have more.” And left. The neighbor directly across the street (where the black fam is moving in) often got my mail and brought it back, and so on. We all just exist here, sure, but it’s a pleasant area. Not like the communities of old, but… as good as ones likely to get these days.
My new business neighbor is even taking my advice to be a better neighbor. It’s a warehouse nobody ever really used, and he doesn’t plan to use it that often either, so he’s going to change the building lights from omnidirectional eyesores into unidirectional, illuminating his property and the sidewalk around it but not my walls or the windows of houses across the street.
But I grew up in an area where we didn’t lock doors, the postman, whomever it was, came into the house to deliver packages (technically a porch but not really… we also lived directly next to the post office so I’m sure my parents knew them well enough), I knew all the cops, and they lived in town (knew them due to my neighbor being a drug house, using said post office parking lot for house parties while on probation) and the mayor was my moms bff (best gay friend -he thought that acronym was stupendous!) I helped him with his campaign by printing t-shirts in my highschool photography lab back in like 2003 (which had a screen printer). So super small town vibe. This is close but not really the same.
I think I only really want to live next to the Harris and Emhoff family, but that’s a Californian bias. I’m not much of a Midwest kinda guy, and the other two are… no.
Hide yo sectional, hide yo couch, because that guy in the bottom right is raping everything up in here.
Obviously that’s true for some people to some degree, but it turns out that policies matter as well. If we only focus on the popularity contest aspect, you can get someone like Reagan who has charisma who will come in and cause great devastation.
if my neighbors spent enough money to end homelessness in the US forever on bombs being dropped on schools, I would burn their house down and be morally justified in doing so.
