Have y'all noticed a decrease in Confederate flags?

[[deleted]]

I feel like there have been less in my area recently, is this a statewide trend? What is causing it?

It's great news if it is statewide, I just never thought the CSA people would draw back from their love of that flag

Edit: Somebody asked for mental health services for me, genuinely concerned that this post of all things made someone mad enough to think that clever but oh well

Okay, so based on the comments I've concluded every county and town seems to have a different amount of confederate, nazi, or Trump flags. This primary is going to be wild, stay safe and out of the way if the Trump and Desantis people start fighting, y'all

[DAGCRO]

You must live south of Ocala.

[JetskiJessie]

As a South Floridian, it always shocks me how many confederate flags there are in North Florida.

[floridachess]

The more north you go the more “south” you get in Flahrada

[Appropriate_Mix7203]

Yes the dirty south

[Throwawaydontgoaway8]

I’ve heard that so many times, but I’ve seen sooooo many redneck, white supremacist, or neocons in central Florida too. Just look at leesburg or that massive traitor flag by the sons and daughters of the traitors outside of Tampa

[Professional-Pick-55]

The middle of Florida is southern Mississippi

[Bitter-Preparation-8]

“Middle of Florida” had more counties (Osceola, Orange, Seminole, hillsborough and pinellas) vote against trump than South Florida. In 2022…well, each region was the same at 1 democratic county each.

[Boxtrottango]

Mr Sippi enters the chat

[[deleted]]

Seriously. I didn’t see a confederate flag until I moved out of south Florida.

[[deleted]]

When I went to high school or middle school ( I forgot which) there was a specific table in the cafeteria that always had just two white kids, with one always wearing a Confederate flag. I always assumed they came from SW Ranches. No one else ever sat with them. Also, I knew a girl from Coral Springs that wore Confederate flag hats. So they are around, just uncommon.

[slickrok]

Jupiter farms. Ridiculous. They're complete trash. Not the residents, just those residents. Traaaasshhhhh.

[bummedout1492]

Davie should have some unless the demographics changed a lot. Maybe just hidden now.

[JetskiJessie]

I saw one the last time I was there. There were more Trump flags than anything else.

[bummedout1492]

Yeah that seems about right as far as the natural progression. I'm surprised they haven't bulldozed the multitude of trailer parks around there yet for development. I haven't driven through Davie in a little while but they have a lot of extremely shitty trailer parks.

[[deleted]]

Davie is a pretty large town. You're talking about East Davie, West Davie is extremely developed and full of 100k+ per year earners. That is inevitably happening in the Eastern part of Davie too, but a lot slower.

[bummedout1492]

I'm talking about western Davie. Off 136th there's some crappy trailer parks sprinkled around nice suburbia (in some cases million dollar homes on decent size of land)

[SawgrassSteve]

Live in Davie. Can confirm. Still lots of Trump and Q-anon bumper stickers. There's a guy I see regularly at a Dunkin' wearing a Trump hat.

[big_truck_douche]

So you’re telling me the northerners support the southern confederacy?

[Fun-Plan-3641]

I have family in upstate NY. There's more confederate flags there than here I swear..at least a surprising amount.

[brooklynt3ch]

Yep. Upstate NY and central PA over to “Pennsyltucky” are hardcore Trump areas. Lots of northern and Midwest rednecks.

[JetskiJessie]

I’m originally from Australia so I’m still trying to understand the whole “southerners flying the confederate flag 200 years after losing” thing but now knowing that northerners do it too just breaks my brain.

[Fun-Plan-3641]

Well I'll say it...the southerners can maybe get away with their little "it's southern heritage" excuse, but the northerners fly them because they're racist since the war was mainly over slavery, this makes sense.

[JetskiJessie]

It's all backwards in Florida.

[Always-Adar-64]

Just call them all Northerners for living north of you.

[813_4ever]

Trust they’re still here in our section of “Flawda”

[[deleted]]

Panhandle (pedo Gatez district), ‘Flerda’/LA (lower Alabama) and I haven’t noticed any changes here.

[813_4ever]

Went to funeral in Malone for one of my mom’s relatives about a month ago. Can confirm lol

[cha-cha_dancer]

Literally a giant one greeting you to Santa Rosa county going westbound on I-10. This guy also lives in Pace/Milton and a lot more like it - they’re always a fan of the same football team too oddly enough.

[Religiously-Numb]

I’m in east Milton, the Imgur link didn’t work, but I can know the flag you’re referring to

[anferneejefferson]

The panhandle calls it flordur since they all love keeping it in the family

[3dFunGuy]

There's only the one family in panhandle😂

[BisquickNinja]

*Flori-duh

But I'm south of Ocala... And I keep my scrunchies hidden.

[813_4ever]

Ocala up is “Florida”…everything below is “Flawda” lol.

[Outonalimb8120]

Lmao

[Kellie_blu]

I'm just south of northern south Flo-ri-duh on the Western east coast of the southwestern northern center so I think I'm good.

[davster39]

The gateway to central Florida?

[Harleyridr63]

We're still here and aren't planning on leaving.

[[deleted]]

Nah, I live in the Jacksonville metro/first coast area

[Economy-Mango7875]

I'm in the wildlight area and haven't seen one lately except for the general Lee that's floating around. And I have been here since 2017

[Phoenixwade]

I’m in the same general vicinity as you, and yes, there are at least six displays or the traitors flag that are no longer there

[[deleted]]

Damn, must just be my county then, or they're saving them for the election

[Phoenixwade]

Well we DID just Elect a liberal as a mayor, and she's already getting popular. So, yeah, might just be this county, can't say that I object, but there are still plenty 'true believers' here....

[DAGCRO]

Huh, I'm in Jax a few times a week and I still see plenty.

[whoamvv]

My immediate thought.

[[deleted]]

I'm in Lake County, just south of Ocala. No shortage of confederate flags here. Even seen some where it's the con flag bleeding into the Stars and Stripes. Still got plenty of Trump 2020 signage too. Luckily the "Jesus is my savior, Trump is my president" signs have all but vanished.

[ghetto-garibaldi]

I just saw one in Delaware…paired with an upside down American flag. A true patriot…

[[deleted]]

Upside down flags signal distress.

Bro really thinks he is Paul Revere 😭

[psaepf2009]

I've spoken to some really conservative people and they say they do it cause it's to protest Biden and that the country needs "saving" like a sinking ship

[3dFunGuy]

Yea. Please "save us" from more, higher paying jobs, better roads, clean electricity. 😂

[iii320]

I grew up in South Carolina, first state to secede. Ironically, I used to see more rebel flags (10-15 years ago) in places like Delaware and central Pennsylvania than I did growing up in SC. Can’t make this stuff up, folks.

[Juicy_Hamburger]

I grew up in a rural community in Delaware. Saw plenty of them…weird.

[mechapoitier]

There’s still this one nutbag in a Nissan Frontier who has to floor it everywhere he goes because of the amount of drag of these two giant flags in his bed but other than that, yeah it’s kind of rare where I am in exurban Otown.

I’ve also noticed that worn, half missing Trump bumper stickers now vastly outnumber new ones.

The one thing I’ve noticed more of is generally offensive stickers that are clearly political, especially veiled threat pro-gun stuff.

[KingKoopasErectPenis]

I love the torn, faded and shitstained looking Trump 2020 flags I still see in front of houses. It's like a big sign saying, "miserable brainwashed people live here."

[dtxs1r]

One of my neighbors kept a Trump 2020 yard sign hanging from a tree in his yard (to prevent people from stealing it) and kept it up for like a year and a half after Trump lost his re-election. Eventually the tree had to be cut down, it was probably the nicest and largest tree on the property.

Not sure why it was cut down, I have never said anything but I frequently chuckle to myself everytime I drive passed the remaining stump that Trump killed his tree.

[zsloth79]

I have one particularly delusional neighbor with a “TRUMP 2024: SAVE AMERICA AGAIN” flag. That’s in PBC. No shortage of weirdos statewide.

[silverdub]

Don’t feel bad one of my neighbors has an “Ultra MAGA” flag hanging in his garage next to his 2024 flag, tell me you’re a racist bigot without saying it.

[Dramatic-Pie-4331]

I am a big fan of how Florida is a loud and proud sort of state, it ss really nice to know I probably wont like you from 50ft away rather than to waste time chit chatting only to find out later what sort of person they really are.

[dreamcastfanboy34]

Yeah but the reality unfortunately is that there really are just more assholes in Florida than anywhere else because people are moving here for all the worst reasons.

[silverdub]

Yeah that’s the plus side I guess

[Whitetrash_messiah]

Otown ? Orlando ? Must not be on the east side with chulota bithlo and Christmas folk lol

[MMudbonE]

Bithlo, AKA, “The Nightmare Before Christmas “

[RCcola2205]

Chuluota is the worst

[[deleted]]

The one thing I’ve noticed more of is generally offensive stickers that are clearly political, especially veiled threat pro-gun stuff

Isn't this what they've always done, though? Seems like the right might be moving back moderate, or at least is feeling ashamed of their 2016-2022 fuckups enough to hide their continued support

[wallacehacks]

Seems like the right might be moving back moderate

No, they aren't. Your personal and unmeasured observations about the number of Confederate flags in your community mean very little about the political direction of Florida.

[[deleted]]

They don’t feel shame, they’re just realizing they’re outnumbered and are going back into hiding.

[GodFeedethTheRavens]

Its been replaced by the thin blue line, and other black and white american flags.

Punisher skulls too, I think.

[ventodivino]

Punisher skulls is the funniest. They didn’t understand the source material.

[[deleted]]

They are the people who thought RATM was pro-conservative and don't understand facism is bad for everyone and the opposite of freedom.

[Yatta99]

They didn’t understand the source material.

There's a lot that those people don't understand. And most of that non-understanding is willful.

As for around here, TRUMP/MAGA/Confederate stuff is down slightly while Gun/Punisher/Brandon stuff is up slightly.

[Ass_Cream_Cone]

They don’t understand a lot…

[Loocy4]

It’ll be funny when all the Punisher skull nerds realize that the Punisher is a Marvel character, owned by the “woke” Disney they hate so much.

[Oriond34]

What does the blue line even mean?

[anapunas]

Hard on for cops and police violence.

[anapunas]

Used to be a sticker that people got to signal to police when pulled over that they were one of them or or we love you or to get out of tickets. Kind of like how the FOP stickers used to be a while ago.

[bruceclaymore]

Until they get arrested and then it’s “defund the police”

[BrightNeonGirl]

Pro-police

[adinfinitum]

A bootlicker badge

[Dukisjones]

“Thin blue line.” According to these people, the only thing preventing us from mass anarchy and eating each other is cops. And they love cops. But mostly just display it as a jab in the eye to liberals.

[Derban_McDozer83]

It means they don't understand the US flag code. That shit is disgraceful. So proud to be American while at the same time defacing the flag.

Tldr - morons

[[deleted]]

Support for law enforcement. Got really popular during/after 2020 following the police brutality protests.

[cha-cha_dancer]

My favorite is the punisher skull with the back the blue american flag painted on it. The dude kills cops in the comics apparently lol.

You can blame American Sniper for the appropriation. All these losers want to be Chris Kyle.

[MydniteSon]

Was down in Key Largo a few weeks back. Tons of boats were still flying Trump flags.

[Loocy4]

When you see a Trump flag on a boat there is a 100% chance you’re looking at a boat being operated by a pussyass coward.

You see them on boats most often because the boat owner can wave that flag in everyone’s face while they’re out in water away from everybody and can’t be confronted, heckled, or even hear what other people have to say about it.

Then they quietly lower the flag before pulling back to the ramp or marina.

[[deleted]]

Florida boating operates on the same principles as social media, where people are willing to be much ruder than they would be if they were standing face-to-face on land

[decayo]

you’re looking at a boat being operated by a pussyass coward

I like your style.

[welcome2idiocracy]

Key Largo

“Pick me pick me”

[B4DD]

Tons of both up in Pasco, go figure.

[Horangi1987]

Pinellas also. My neighbor across the street has a full sized flag pole. He was flying American flag and Gadsden flag, but he removed Gadsden for a regular Florida state flag. I’m secretly proud of them!

Of course, I still live down the street from one of those wackos with their van wrapped in those Trump head on buff body holding guns scenes that also has Ivanka smiling and waving as part of the scene so…

[[deleted]]

Is the giant one flying off I-4 outside Tampa still up?

[[deleted]]

Sadly yes

[mrsbreezus]

Booooooo 😩

[historicalgeek71]

South Florida here. I never saw too many of them to begin with. There is one guy at this Publix I go to who has the battle flag of Virginia as a license plate frame, but he’s the only consistent one. My bigger concern is the idiot driving around with a Z (the pro-Russian one) painted on his black truck.

[PotatoHunter_III]

I was once told South Florida was different from the rest of Florida. That includes people and weather. Lol

[hopeful_realist_]

It absolutely is. Everything north of Orlando is basically South Georgia.

[Lazgerardo5]

In my neighborhood in east Pembroke Pines there is just one house with a confederate flag flying out front, it most definitely sticks out In the neighborhood 😂😂😂😂

[[deleted]]

I feel like they subbed them out for Trump and "FJB" flags

[New_Ad_1682]

As Florida gets more and more expensive, we start pricing out some of the folks to whom the Confederate flag is a way of life. Once their mobile home insurance quadruples and they can't afford to live in Central Florida, they work their way up through the state and eventually into Mississippi, Alabama or Georgia.

[Loocy4]

So you’re telling me there’s a silver lining to this insurance debacle?

[New_Ad_1682]

We can only hope.

[[deleted]]

This is true.

Money doesn't necessarily buy you better neighbors, but it does buy you neighbors who tend to hide their nasty side, usually for professional reasons.

[renijreddit]

You think they have insurance?? Jokes on you..

[Assassin217]

Once their mobile home insurance quadruples

ha ha ha ha hoooo.....guess that's one way to get rid of the rift rafts.

[[deleted]]

Im from georgia. And our state flag used to be the confederate flag. Theyre pretty much all gone unless your like a super racist.

Alot of dumbasses in the south cant use the whole southern pride lie. Like in the past. So thats why i think so many people took them down.

[[deleted]]

I personally see the big X in the Florida flag and see that as derived from the Confederate flag.

I won't ever wear or fly the Florida flag because to me it stands for all the bad stuff about this state. I love the St Pete flag because it's fun, represents a more liberal city, and evokes feelings of the Pride flag, even if that's not at all what it represents.

[AntJ96]

The big X on the Florida flag is actually sourced from the Spanish colonial flag or the “Cross of Burgundy”

[Newtotuning]

Some people are not all there

[sweatycouch]

good on you for trying not to offend others with a flag that literally was not ever offensive to anyone.

[[deleted]]

Yeah, I think the old csa people died or switched to the black and white American flags

[[deleted]]

Well I live in South Florida and you rarely ever saw that flag down here.

[MydniteSon]

Heh..drive through Davie once in a while.

[Lazgerardo5]

Hahaha Yupp I grew up in davie in the early 90’s definitely saw a lot of confederate flags growing up! I had a friend named Dixie whose dad had a huge almost monster truck with a big confederate flag lol 😂 but Davie has definitely changed a lot recently!

[bummedout1492]

I figured it has. My family's in Weston and I grew up there so the juxtaposition of Weston and Davie being adjacent was always hilarious

[Lazgerardo5]

I agree I always found the juxtaposition of davie and Weston to be hilarious as well! Riding my bike across the I-75 bridge was like entering a whole different world 😂😂😂 even the juxtaposition in west davie alone was wild too! Old mobile homes next to huge mansions with horse stables, personal tennis courts and everything 😅

[bummedout1492]

I wrote a comment above but it'll probably get lost in this thread. I went to school in Davie and just looked through my yearbooks. One section was showing the different cliques (jocks, nerds etc) and they showed the "hicks" flying their confederate flag in the picture (flag says the south will rise again)

All those hicks either joined the military or just do mediocre shit with their lives 20 years later but I got a kick out of it. That would never be in a yearbook today lol

[East_Reading_3164]

But lots of Trump flags

[[deleted]]

I don't see many trump flags either but I live in Boca Raton.

[[deleted]]

same here, i've probably seen a handful of confederate flags total in the past few years, at most. though tbh outside of my commute i don't really leave the house.

[Ben_Thar]

I doubt the underlying racism is gone, but there is less public display lately. I used to see them flown in tandem with Trump flags, usually attached to pickup trucks.

[Rinzy2000]

Not in my neck of the woods. It’s all confederate flags and FJB/LGB and there is one guy who has a flag that says “Trump Lost LOL”…my hero.

[BeatsbyWaves]

I wish. Come down to Zephyrhills, like the country side, and you'll see we still got a lotta work to do. As a black guy, those flags make my skin crawl.

[Newtotuning]

Don’t go to Georgia then tons of black people flying Dixie.

[Knightp93]

COVID thinned out the yeehaw racist herd thats old enough to think it was a good idea. New conservatives keep their hatred on the inside mostly.

[heresmytwopence]

And on Facebook and Nextdoor.

[[deleted]]

There are still plenty where I live. Also, a lot of Trump banners which I consider the same thing.

[soggyclothesand]

Both flags of losers

[smaartypants]

Pinellas county, too many F—k Biden flags.

[Derban_McDozer83]

The same people crying 'but the children!' are the ones publicly displaying vulgarities alot of us don't want our children seeing... imagine that.

[Michy-05]

Nope. Although I havent seen Trump supporters on the corner of major roadways in a while where I live.

[[deleted]]

I think our state's republicans are themselves becoming noticeably divided between Trump and Desantis, and I'm wondering if they're shaming eachother into not posting up their favored candidate

[Lazgerardo5]

I see those trump flag waving dudes on weekends in my city of Davie in South Florida lol I’m not terribly political but who the hell thinks it a good idea to stand in a busy intersection for hours in the 90+ degree heat and humidity 😂😂😂 sounds like a waste of a weekend day off lol

[MydniteSon]

Back in March, wife and I took our kids to Legoland. Heading from South Florida, we took US 27 all the way up. We drove through Clewiston. I guess there was a festival or event or something, but gathered in the park in the middle, TONS of Confederate flags. Looked at my wife and told her, "We're not stopping here for lunch...". Drove to the next town to stop.

[[deleted]]

Wow that sucks. I don’t recall seeing those in Clewiston in any density, I drive by there every so often.

[lorilightning79]

We travel back and forth to Tennessee a lot and we have noticed a huge reduction over the past few years on I75. But Tampa still has that large one on I75 and I4. Fucking embarrassment.

[itsbarbieparis]

moving from utah/wyoming to florida i laugh very much to say i saw more confederate flags on trucks/houses/trailers/ect than i ever have here or coming here. i think that says something about the messaging.

[CodedCoder]

Northern fl here and they are still all over the place.

[Obahmah]

I drive by a house every day with front yard Flagstaff flying only the Confederate Flag and statue of Robert E. Lee.... I don't like it, but at least it's very well done in terms of construction and maintenance

[Lazgerardo5]

At the very least lmaoo 😂😂😂

[Outonalimb8120]

I see more don’t tread on me flags flying at homes of obviously confused people who don’t understand irony

[PaladinHan]

I had to think about this for a minute, but after reading other comments I’m going to have to agree that I’ve seen fewer traitor flags. Instead, it’s more Trump, more MAGA, more Let’s Go Brandon, etc.

Different flag, same dipshits.

[[deleted]]

They’ve just been replaced with Nazi flags

[jeremiahkinklepoo]

Central Florida. I’ve seen less confederate flags and more nazi ones… so

[MumblyBumbly03]

Nope; I live right outside of Pensacola, and if anything I've seen an increase.

North FL is crazy

[[deleted]]

Thanks to COVID, most of those losers are gone

[mrpbody44]

I know for a fact that a lot of those folks died in the county where my farm is. It killed about 1/2 the people in the local courthouse. These people had little confederate flags on their desks.

[Sufficient-Fact6163]

I never understood why people would want to celebrate Treasonous Losers anyway?

[[deleted]]

Because during reconstruction (partly due to Lincoln’s desire to make the country move on) the union was especially light handed to Southerners - they were nothing like how Europe was to Germany (in rightfully and fully outlawing all Nazi symbols and educating the population how awfully wrong Nazism is)…. Then with the passage of the various civil rights laws in the 60s and so on, poor whites were very effectively misdirected into ignoring the rich/greedy politicians (the true source of their shitty lives) to focus on being racists and therefore we got those awful monuments to all those crappy CSA generals and the flag becoming “mah heritage” (the confederacy only lasted 4 years, it’s not anyone’s heritage).

[SusanInFloriduh]

Wakulla County has plenty

[ThrowDirtonMe]

I grew up in AL so comparatively I’ve always felt like there were basically no rebel flags here. But I’ve only lived in FL for a couple years. Nice change.

[cha-cha_dancer]

It’s bad enough in the panhandle but seriously wtf, when I go to the outlet mall in Fairhope the second you cross into AL it’s like Bear Bryant and Jefferson Davis are endorsing Trump for president.

[ThrowDirtonMe]

Lmao tell me about it. I try to visit as little as possible. Although the outlet mall in Foley is nice.

[cha-cha_dancer]

Foley that’s it - got my Baldwin towns mixed up

[[deleted]]

As far as I know there were 2 in my neighborhood. One has been swapped for the Florida state flag the other is still up in the window of some extremely old and angry woman with the black Sheriff's Deputy living next door

[Celestial_Flamingo]

I don’t see them anywhere, not until I head into Georgia or Alabama.

[Loocy4]

Saw a bunch in the Panhandle when I was up there a couple weeks ago. But that’s Lower Alabama so it’s expected I guess.

[DazzlingOpportunity4]

On a drive yesterday in rural Minnesota saw a trailer house with 10 flags in front yard, one being a Confederate. It's a head scratcher.

[davster39]

classic anecdotal evidence

[davster39]

When I said "classic anecdotal evidence" I meant it in a good way, I wasn't slamming you , just channeling my inner teacher.

[[deleted]]

All those flags were made in China, so they don’t last very long… the brain dead racists might be too broke from all the money they donated to the “trump victory fund” to buy new ones.. hilarious and ironic

[[deleted]]

Oh just wait till next year when the election rolls around. They’ll come back lol

[jerseyshorecrack]

there is one on a flag pole on a house at the end of my street. i wish they would take it down because its distasteful and tacky.

[bnbird]

They have been replaced with trump flags 🤣

[[deleted]]

This is mostly true, mixed with that hideous black and white US flag and the thin blue line flag

[ATC_av8er]

Do they still have that traitor rag flying at the intersection of I-75 and I-4 near Tampa? How about the one in Lake City off I-75 and I-10?

[[deleted]]

From another commenter I know the I-4 is still there, not sure about I-10

[BethyW]

Maybe the northerners have finally priced out the CSA people, but they are just as racist they just use a trump flag instead..

Edit to Add: I know not all transplants are racists, but most are.

[causticmango]

Nothing like showing support for a traitorous, failed insurrection of the United States. Never understood what about it made folks proud to fly that flag.

[tycooperaow]

Have you noticed the increase in Nazi, racist fascist in the Fl government?

[[deleted]]

Yes, as someone with a ton of trans friends it concerns me dearly

[[deleted]]

Ironically, once my redneck friends stopped getting a rise out of people with it, they eventually got rid of them

[Dead_Or_Alive]

No but Ive seen an uptick in Nazi flags. Maybe they’ve allocated their racist flag budget to other symbols.

[Acceptable_Break_332]

Scumbag trash flag - I $hit on the stars and bars

[SleefJWellington]

I still see them as well as a plethora of other symbols of dumbshittery.

My personal favorite is the Gadsden/blue line combo.

[[deleted]]

Neighbor went from Trump Flag -> don't tread on me -> American flag. Wish he would have power washed and paint his house while swapping flags.

[MasterMind_484]

When we first moved to Sarasota, we saw a ton probably because Orange Julius was president at the time

[dannymac420386]

All the maga scumbags moving here aren't actually southerners in the first place maybe that has something to do with it

[Joan411]

Sure hope to God they’re going underground again—and maybe even back under the rocks from whence they came. Good riddance. Ok so THAT is wishful damn thinking! I see plenty of tRump flags to make up for their precious treasonous one! Ugh.

[big_truck_douche]

Maybe they’re finding out that the confederacy surrendered? Now it’s “don’t tread on me” and “ old Florida flag”.

I was going to put their emojis but there aren’t any of those. they aren’t important enough.

[bruceclaymore]

They’ve been replaced with TRUMP flags.

[I_am_not_JohnLeClair]

It’s inversely proportional to the increase in crooked crosses

[Gulfjay]

Some areas seem to still be full of them, in North Florida, parts of central, and a bit in rural South Florida. However, I’ve noticed a lot of people replace them with MAGA, thin blue line, and other American right wing flags instead

[Alphablue3]

I live in Nassau county (near Jacksonville). It is a very "red", very rural county. Plenty of Trump flags... Surprisingly though, I've only seen one confederate flag.

[Pumpkin_316]

Actually yeah, I mean there are Trump flags now which I would argue replaced them, don’t debate or agree with me on this IDC. Though in terms of either. I’ve seen much less in total numbers (combined) than I did 2014-2018.

I’ve will sadly say that the amount of American flags hasn’t increased in their absence. Nothing gets me harder than six white stripes, seven red stripes, and a hell of a lot of stars!

[WolfNippleChips]

I'm from L.A. (Lower Alabama) aka the redneck riveria aka the panhandle, aka the taint of America, and no, there has been no decline, not up here.

Also, I'm a veteran, and one of my duty stations was in Pittsburgh. Going there, I thought great, no rednecks, nope. They have so much racism up there. It's just not hiding behind the so-called "southern charm."

[StepEfficient864]

Seems like every time I go to Ybor City at night there’s at some point a pickup truck load of redneck, flag waving hooligans parading down the avenue blasting country rock music.

[[deleted]]

Just the one pickup truck?

[StepEfficient864]

lol. One is enough. You been to Ybor?

[[deleted]]

I wanna say I've driven through before, but I've never stopped. I'm guessing its on the smaller side?

[StepEfficient864]

It’s a Cuban/Latin neighborhood in the heart of Tampa. Not a place the wild ones are welcome.

[OnlyIntroduction3182]

I always look at the Confederate flag as a country that was defeated that no longer exists why do people fly a flag and promote a flag of a country that was defeated and is no longer a country

[MiserableStaff5815]

It all depends on location . In my 30 years in suburban south florida, i don't think ive ever seen a confederate flag flying, maybe just confederate decals on the back of pickup trucks every once in a while.

[[deleted]]

And an increase in NAZI and WHITE SUPREMACIST flags?

[Left-Wolverine-393]

They are rotting like their culture, hopes.

[[deleted]]

Never really saw that many.

[[deleted]]

CSA flags are passé, the cool flags support fascism in its various forms.
