California Donald Trump supporter Michael Mason says his neighbors, who support President-elect Joe Biden, have “bullied” his family so much he was forced to file for a restraining order.
Mason told local news that he was ready to move out of the area because his family didn’t feel welcome. The event that seemed to set him over the edge was when neighborhood children drew pro-LGBTQ art on the sidewalks outside of his home in a cul de sac.

“I went down there and asked them, ‘Well, why didn’t you write this in front of your house? Or anyone else’s house?’ and they just laughed at me,” he complained.
The uninvolved neighbor who lives between the dueling households may have summed the situation up best by declaring it “insane,” adding, “2020 has been kind of a crazy year for everybody.”
