    American flags everywhere. Like EVERYWHERE. I get a bit of national pride but holy crap, every other house in the street is flying a flag, clothing has flag patterns, bumper sticker American flag, it’s everywhere. And no, it wasn’t even close to July 4.

    It’s like Americans are afraid they might forget what country they’re in if they aren’t in sight of a flag at all times.

      Yeah every time I see an american flag, I’m like yeah, I know where I’m at. I saw a Greece flag under the American flag at a house and I thought to myself, it would’ve looked much nicer with just the Greece flag.

      It’s kind of a warning marker. You dip into a small neighborhood with flags all over the place and it’s not near 4th of July You’ve stumbled into a very anti-immigrant, anti minority* area. Their weaponizing patriotism.
