So what the hell?

2. Overcompensation for their percieved shortcomings

I spent three years in the Army, one of those on the DMZ, I don't need a flag in my front yard

3. Saw a truck festooned with Trump flags on a I95 overpass a few weeks ago

Haven’t noticed if they guy was back there but then haven’t really looked.

6. I'm in the Philly burbs

Most of the Trump crap in yards is gone.
Took a road trip upstate (Monroe Co.) last weekend to chop down a Xmas tree. JFC. Trump signs, flags, hand painted signs EVERYWHERE. A farmer festooned a tractor with Trump signs and flags and parked it in the middle of a field for all to see. Thankfully the owner of the tree farm had the brains to not have a display of Trumpiness or we would have chopped elsewhere. But I did see a number of businesses (repair shops etc) with signs. There’s another planet just an hour north.

9. Within 20 minutes of here

In Hanover county they still have permanent 4x4 and thick plywood Benghazi signs. Yeah. At several 4 way stops in the more western part of the county.

11. My brother's in Cumberland County

Near Carlisle. He and my niece are a blue island in a sea of red. He knows better than to put out a yard sign or have a bumper sticker.

4. The blue and white striped flag

is the flag of white supremacists. More subtle than the swastikas.

7. That it is. It replaces the Confederate flag in parts near me.

The latter having gone out of style.

Police organizations should protest, but the won't.

10. the 'thin blue line' flag.

mostly flown by guys who couldnt pass the physical, let alone the psyche screening.

[treestar]

12. No, that is not what it is

It is an organization that supports widows of cops and supports the police.
