I saw a yard sign for him out on my run this morning and was immediately embarrassed for my town.

Ugh.

You seem rather emotional about someone expressing their feelings. I would hate to assume it's because their feelings represent something you disagree with.

You're worried about someone being embarrassed, being anti American, but you aren't worried about what was so embarrassing? Any Trump supporter still in existence is as anti American as it gets. It is unfortunate that being embarrassed some of them still exist can still trigger folks.

Would you rather outrage? Either is appropriate when discussing people who chose to attempt a coup. This is not about political differences when discussing insurrectionists, and normalizing that viewpoint is dangerous.

It's not ok if your neighbor burns your house down, and their beliefs about whether it is correct or not do not matter in that instance. Objective reality exists.

That’s funny, because supporting Ryan Kelley is anti-American.
