“Right winged liberals?”

And don’t generalize. I’m probably one of the most liberal people on the forum, and one of the harshest critics of the outgoing administration, and I still respect the flag and what it represents.

I’m sure there are plenty of elderly Europeans who were happy as hell to see that flag show up in WW2.

The thing is that we have to avoid blind nationalism. My family came here from Austria because they were avoiding a people who had become patriotic to the point of irrationality.
