I pay attention to flags when I drive through different areas, especially if it's a place where I am thinking about buying a home. Rainbow flags are a good sign. If I don't see any rainbow flags, I wonder if I could feel truly at home in that place. And if I see a lot of right wing flags (Trump, Don't Tread On Me, weird variations on the American flag), then I know I don't belong there.

At this point, I feel safer with Trump flags than rainbow ones.

Not me. I didn't want to be around those people before January 6th. Then after they tried to violently overthrow the government, I really don't want to be around them.

After all the governments the US has violently tried to overthrow? After all the native tribes they displaced?

And those white nationalists who stormed the Capitol on January 6th would bring back the absolute worst of those atrocities and take them to the next level.

They are not "white nationalists." They are FREEDOM FIGHTERS. They are heroes. They are patriots. They are minutemen and minutewomen. And they will win.
