...the I-75/I-4 interchange in Tampa?

Anyone local enough to know? I get that I live in the deep south but I didn't think anyone would be that blatant in this day and age.

I live in Canada and a coworker of mine is obsessed with the confederate flag.
I've tried explaining to him a few times what the flag means and why it's absolutely fucking stupid for a Canadian to have anything to do with it.
Guy is too dense to get it.

I've known someone like that. They think it's a redneck pride flag and doesn't even know what the confederacy is.

Apparently it was supposed to come down after a bunch of people threatened to burn it but it's still there and now the guy who hoisted it is dead anyway so I don't get why it's still up.

he harmed our nation so much, and dare I say, irreparably.

imagine the Russians invaded us and they are taking over. Do you think the treasonous kind of people that bother flying a giant confederate flag and that go to trump rallies would try to stop an invading Russian if they saw him shooting a fellow American that happens to be black/brown/Asian/LGBTQ/liberal? Hell no.

these treasonous people would roll the red carpet for the likes of Russia or any white nation thatd be invading us, and all it took was an old fat dude that covers his bald head with his side hairs like a ball of yarn to do it

it hurts me deeply

There's a house near the interstate in my town which flew a Confederate flag, then a combination Confederate/American flag, then a Trump 2024 flag.

I'm guessing the home owner's association forced them to change the flag.

You don't have a right to defend yourself from cops arresting you. That's what a lawyer is for.

Not even that. Inevitably the flag they have isn't the right color or proportion. It's always a 2:3 flag with the colors of the Battle Flag, which was never a historical flag. A 2:3 flag with that design was used with a lighter shade of blue for the naval jack, but never on land. The actual battle flag was a square. So these idiots who talk about supporting history are using a flag that never historically existed.

It's Octillery. His whole gimmick is taking an idiotic stance on something and if you disagree with him he just screams "Wrong!" "NO!" "Nope!" and "NONONONONONONONONO!" at you like a fucking toddler. He's not worth arguing with because he doesn't actually have the capacity to have a debate in good faith.

It's been considerably less common in recent years.

Granted this is such a boisterous statement that I can't really see this being something good to do even before that. People are going to associate such symbolism with bigotry before they ever consider whether or not it stands for Dixie pride even before the crackdown on Confederate imagery as a whole (its just previously sometimes you could get people to ease up after explaining it whereas now it's not okay period).
