I really don't see the left displaying the American flag.If it is a flag pole in a yard or a flag sticker on their vehicle,it is most likely a Conservative.That is my observation.Prove me wrong.

But you are 100% wrong about the Democrats. the progs, the left, antifa &al.
The rank and file that were brought up in the Democrat party of their parents are not included in that and more and more are #walkaway.
No no, lets all come down on Trump when he says "fake news" he's just trying to stop the 1st Amendment.
I'm gonna learn some French ones too just to make it even better for you my friendI wish we had no "bad language" filter on INGO to get the full TT experience.
I will proabbly have to meet you in person for that.

If they are trying to usurp authority then they are targets of opportunity also.
Liberals complain if you fly the flag.
Liberals ram your car if you display the flag.
Liberals burn the flag at anti-American rallies.
Liberals kneel to the flag rather than saluting it.
Can you really see conservatives doing any of these things? Me either.
Hate to jump in here... and further hate to contribute to the tribalism...
But let's be honest.
If you see a Gadsden Flag, what do you assume the person's political affiliation is?
If you see a "COEXIST" tag, what do you assume the person's political affiliation is?
If you see a Confederate flag, what do you assume the person's political affiliation is?
If you see an Anarcho-capitalism flag, what do you assume the person's political affiliation is?
Not saying I like it, and not saying I think it should be true of everyone... but today's divisiveness has relegated the American flag to strongly favor one side of the political spectrum. In that... I can't see an "out and about" liberal proudly deciding to display the American flag on their Prius. They know they would be misunderstood to be Patriotic, and right-leaning.
The American Flag has lost a lot of its impact and meaning, and become just another political tag.
The homes I see in my neighborhood flying a flag? I can say, with 95% certainty, they probably lean right.
The "right" seems more proud of their country. The hard-left seems content with bashing their country.
I say this, as always, as a voice of reason... aiming from the middle.
Probably a good assesment except for the Confederate flag. I think it would be 50/50. Sure media want you to believe it's only racist righties
The flags you mentioned apply to subsets of American society, whilst the American flag encompasses all. Admittedly, you see more desecration of the flag, by those from the left, but to say that people that identify as liberals don't display the flag (in good numbers) is ABSOLUTELY wrong, and is nothing more than an attempt to justify preconceived notions.
....There are LOTS of American flags, at liberal homes adorning mantles, hanging in windows, and on flag poles... and always have been.
Yeah, false patriotism is a real problem. Was after 9/11 Too. Being patriotic was popular and hip. That sure died fast. The left can't wait to get back to calling us military and vets babykillers and oil whores.
I'm not saying there arent some on the left that love America and the flag for what it stands for. But I believe there are more on the left who would hand it all over in a heartbeat for their own selfish reasons. ****em.
The right will be the 3% again.
It should!
I dunno man. I don't have examples to build this opinion off of... but I don't see "left-leaning" demonstrators flying the stars and stripes all that often.
Maybe it's closer than I think... but I'd put money that the majority would be right-leaning.
My pop is a what many here would call a liberal. For years he volunteered his time, at Crown Hill, along with some his other vet friends, to hand out flags on holidays for people to place on graves.
For as many people that call liberals "the enemy," or "wanting to destroy America," I would think it odd that they would ever have the opportunity to know one that actually refuted their beliefs.
