My street has numerous town houses in a row with flags out front. Every one of them belongs to a moderate to liberal owner.

I fly a flag outside my very liberal home. The flag belongs to the United States and everyone in it. I’m not letting those fake patriot authoritarian fascists in the GQP claim the very symbol of my country. This is my home too, and I want better for it than the hollow, brainless flag waving of the right.

Great, you don’t live in those countries anymore. Irrelevant data point.

It’s relevant because only the US has flag crazies.

Not necessarily, but I do assume it about our neighbor that has “an appeal to heaven” flag in front of their house

No

When I lived in a sketchy neighborhood I seriously considered putting an nra bumper sticker on my car so it would be visible in my driveway.

We don’t do flags in general, we don’t have a holder, but growing up seemingly everyone had an American flag outside, at least for the major holidays like 4th of July. Maybe it’s a generational thing, my parents still have theirs, they’re democrats.

People underestimate how appearances factor into targeting. Having a flag, 2A slogans, etc create a certain appearance.

I like that logic
