Several weeks ago, I saw a guy riding a motorcycle with the American flag flying from the back of his bike and the confederate flag sewn on the back of his jacket. I do not live anywhere near a southern state.

I can't fathom the amount of mental gymnastics it takes to proudly fly the flags of two opposing parties in a major war and still somehow believe it represents your views.

I kinda feel like the American flag itself has taken on connotations that align with the confederate flag.

When I see the American flag in current times, I think of roll coal 'murka fuck yeah sentiments.

Yeah, sadly, any time I see an American flag that isn't on a pole I know without asking what kind of people are displaying it.
