    Why is the Gadsden flag placed alongside a thin blue line flag? Those symbols are mutually exclusive.

    You should tell that to the endless sea of car bumpers and flagpoles I see flying both those flags and a Trump flag.

      I live in Southern Oregon and it’s gotten to the point that I’m actually a little surprised when I don’t see them side by side on pickups or flagpoles. On the way through Camas Valley or somewhere between the 5 and the coast, IIRC, there is a flagpole that has those, a thin green line flag and a Trump flag, just to really confuse everyone.

      It’s truly baffling. Perhaps not that they don’t seem to understand, at the most fundamental levels, what they are so passionate about, but that they are so eager to let everyone know.
