    Because it’s been adopted by the conservatives. Sucks because it’s an awesome flag. Now it’s basically a “Try that in a small town” sticker.

    It’s a visual representation of support for conservative bullshit. People who don’t support that nonsense shouldn’t use their symbols because it makes it seem like those ideas have more support than they actually do, which emboldens conservatives.

      Just because people you disagree with also like a flag doesn’t make it bad?

      That flag is American as hell.

      Also, there’s lots of black conservatives?
