    I’m there with you.

    We have a camera on the driveway and the front walk. We have a sign at the start of the front walk that, in compliance with state/federal law requirements, says no politics (among others). Anybody who makes it to the door gets yelled at for not reading the sign and asked for their permit from the city to go door to door.

    We really don’t like people, outside of expected visitors/deliveries, coming to our door. Our dogs lose their minds barking and then are on high alert for a while going off at every little noise.

    Political texts, regardless of party or content, get an automatic delete and mark junk. Same with emails.

    Mailers don’t make it into the house and go right into the recycling.

    We don’t vote based on the best marketing campaign.

      Your dogs take their emotional cues from you. You lose your mind when someone comes to your door unexpectedly, said so yourself.

        Firstly, nobody comes to our door “unexpectedly”. We’re alerted and have them on camera before they hit our front walk.

        Secondly, our dogs lose their minds barking when my wife comes home from work, when we have expected company, when we come back from running errands, when our neighbor comes home from work and slams his car door etc. etc. etc.

        It’s almost like they both have high amounts of guard dog breeds in them.
