I just open the door to anyone knocking with my GSD at my side. They usually back all the way off the front porch, tell me why they are bothering me and I tell them I'm not interested but my dog is showing some interest in you. They usually just leave.
I've been in my neighborhood for going on 20 years this July and I have worked hard to cultivate an image of "that guy". You know the one, the old man with his fist pumping the air as he yells at the little kids to get off his lawn. Hell, I don't even have to turn off my lights on Halloween any more.

I’d like to think that I’d be cleverly insulting if I ever did get solicited by a political neighborhood walker, but I suspect I’d get tongue-tied and just end up mumbling some thing noncommittal.
Just say "I don't support trash" and close the door.

I’m sure you could enjoy an hour bashing Trump with them.

Your image will have been attained when on Halloween the kids knock on your door and when you open it they give you candy!

Agree. I would be pretty hateful.
These people are nuts. You wouldn't want to let them know you are a Republican.
may I come visit for a week (that's all it would take)....

I got your back paisano - @cousinLuigi.
In the words of my dearly departed 100% Sicilian granddaddy: wassamattafoyou!? Translation: What the fuq is wrong with you boy??
He used to wait to catch us plucking grapes from his vineyard and shoot us in the ass with a Crossman pellet rifle. #siciliansaremean

They seem to live in a bubble where everyone thinks everything they have to say is important. And they have no manners.
Damn! You need a Rottweiler chained to your front porch! The only thing I've had to annoy me was one door to door salesmen (has to be licensed by the city and follow etiquette to work in Auburn) who refused to leave my front porch until I heard him out. I stepped out of the door and told him we could walk down my steps or fly awkwardly into the front yard and it was his choice. He left promptly. The only one who could show his permit was cordial, had something I was interested in and made a sale. Etiquette is everything and leaving when you are refused or asked to is part of it. The guy I made leave, was arrested a bit farther down the street. He told an older woman he was coming inside to talk to her, she called the police.
if it were to happen to me today ... I go straight to bridge of the nose and crush the knee with my size 12 (all in one motion w/o announcement) ... it would be then I'd sit there and watch to see if he was able to dial 911....
or as in bullet's case, I'd be more subtle knowing it was going to go down my way or the other .... and nuts doesn't like "other".....
That's the 3rd movement of a 13 move lethal weapon called Pasaryu Dong Jok I was taught by Kang Rhee when I studied martial arts under him. The first is a cupped hand using the wrist to strike at the groin, the result is the target bending over, that's when you use the same wrist to come up under the chin which straightens them up and then the foot of the palm to the bridge of the nose. I can barely remember the other 10 moves but Kang Rhee could do the whole thing in about 15-20 seconds leaving the victim pretty much dead or at least incapacitated.
Interestingly enough I was able to find this. This dudes father was an instructor there and the very 1st time I ever sparred I knock a kid out with a spinning back fist. He came running over mad as hell because it was supposed to be light contact only. Kang Rhee came over and said "no no, that was very good, I keep my eyes on you"!
Anyway, here's how you can kill someone if you can't find a gun...

They already know if he registered Republican in recent primaries.
The only people who show up at my door are baptists. They are very pushy about wanting to come in and talk about the bible with me. I don't get any political people showing up at all. We do have an ordinance in my city that if I put up a no soliciting sign and they knock on my door I can call the cops and have them ticketed.

I live in an 80% Blue State - it sucks. My Home town is OK, it certainly leans left, but for Mass is it balanced pretty well. One town over is referred to as San Francisco-East. It used to be a great town to hang out in, lots of restaurants and bars. You could overlook the politics. You can't anymore. To road and sidewalks are rainbow painted, there is trash and panhandlers all over the place... it is vile.
Every weekend "protesters" block main street for a cupel hours in the AM to bich about the virtue signal flavor of the week....
I wont even drive though town anymore. It take a route that is 10-15 minutes longer every time to avoid it.

So it’s the total opposite of a small town in the south.

You never know if it might be Fedex or Amazon or the termite guy these days. Jehovah's Witnesses are easy to spot. Since its upper middle class Democrat, obviously there are no Blacks and very few minorities in the neighborhood. So when you see well dressed Black women, you know its the Jehovah's Witnesses. They are always nice and polite. And I'm always nice to them. Even though I think they are cultists, they are very dedicated, so I admire that.

Speaking as someone who was married to a woman for 20+ years whose daddy was a Baptist preacher, I feel ya man.

When I see them on the ring I go to the door, crack it open and stick my head around the edge. At that point I say you’re welcome to come in but I’m not dressed. I get the pamphlet and that’s all.

I actually enjoy the visits and biblical discussions when the JWs come by. I just have to repeatedly tell them the Watch Tower is in no shape or form part of the Bible.
I also have to show them in Galatians why it’s not part of the Bible.
Some left with a lot of questions of their own.
Fortunately for me Democrats have abandoned our county and usually don’t put a candidate on the ticket. Only Dems are on statewide elections
Primary determines all County held offices
2020 Trump 80% Biden 18%
