In most countries the national flag gets associated with the far right because nationalists parade the flag as a symbol of their opposition to immigration so it becomes associated with National Front movements and skinheaded soccer thugs. I guess a similar thing is happening here.

The American people are The Other to Democrats. This essay explains it in an outstanding fashion: http://archive.is/QRJ6m

The only yard sign I have seen in the last six months was for the local sheriff. Beyond that, I have only witnessed, pro trump shirts and masks. Other than that, one BLM shirt, and two BLM masks. Nobody in my area gives two shits about any of this nonsense. And yes, this is a major city that has incorporated three other cities into it's borders.

Usually the left have a fetish obsession with illegal immigrants and the right with the police.

Seeing the flag makes you vote Republican. Fact.

"Just a brief exposure to an image of the American flag shifts voters, even Democrats, to Republican beliefs, attitudes and voting behavior even though most don't believe it will impact their politics, according to a new two-year study just published in the scholarly Psychological Science." -- article in USNews

-- Study:: A Single Exposure to the American Flag Shifts Support Toward Republicanism up to 8 Months Later

The left has put a lot of money and effort into getting people to associate the flag with racism. Obviously everyone who is brainwashed into believing in the narratives of the left will also believe that one.

Anti nationalism is important for the left because they need to keep people divided. Everyone can be American. Everyone can not be the same color. So the left maintains that color is the most important thing, it is your identity, and nothing else matters. The last thing they want is for minorities to consider themselves American.

I bet they won't say that six pointed star is an example of racism.

Biden's recent speech was basically Nationalistic, pushing how great America is in the world.

Yeah because when they realize this, they realize that it is about class. And it happens many Jews but also non-Jews are at the top of that class. Better to fight about race.
