    But the Republic and Northern island need to fly those flags so you know where you are and whether it’s been taken over.

    Okay, maybe not, but when I was in America for a few years we decided the ridiculous fixation was so people knew that they hadn’t been taken over … again.

      Just wait until you start seeing the new combination flags where it’s divided diagnoally and displays two flags communicating opposing and incompatible values. So far I’ve seen American/Israeli, American/Trump and American/Confederate Battle flags. The irony clearly goes so far over their heads, not to mention how these flags technically violate the official rules for flag display

      I do think it’s telling that I haven’t seen any American/LGBTQ flags for who the designers of these flags cater to
