Saw a few flying confederate flags today....

Two big ones were flying from the back of an old beat up pickup truck.

Here in my town, they got a bit popular a while back during the height of taking down confederate statues and whatnot. We haven't seen them for months around here. This afternoon, however, it looked to me like they're starting to come back in full force.

My son told me about a car he saw that was sporting a swastika on it's back window not long ago.

as the white flag of surrender is the actual flag of the Old South...and the swastika is a Nazi symbol, and we won a fucking world war vanquishing that one.

Fuck these people.
