Spotted at Maga Rally in the square of Medina Oh, confederate flags displayed with the

[Ninga]

large trump flags.

Going to barf.

It appears the rally was 25 or 30 strong. More barf.

1. Up there?! That's near Cleveland!

Tecumseh Sherman just tossed in his grave.

[Ninga]

2. Yep. Red country for sure. If you are familiar with the region, mostly working class burbs voted

trumlethinskin. Parma, etc.

11. Medina is a red county

No easy, direct connection to Cleveland - so far less like Cleveland than Akron. Very insulated. Mostly rural - aside from the city proper.

Lodi - very prominent in KKK in Ohio - is in Medina county

[Buckeye_Democrat]

13. Yeah, but the Confederate flag too?!

Trump is bad enough, but that flag way up there in Ohio?

[Ms. Toad]

14. At this point it is more connected to an idea

than to geography.

3. Disgusting

but at this point, who cares? We know they are racist troglodytes (apologies to troglodytes). Let them whine and carry on and show how many of them there are (we know that, too). We can afford to ignore their outbursts now, put our heads down, and do our best to right the wrongs that have been committed in our name.

And wouldn't it be funny if there were a lot of violence and looting by this crowd? I'd laugh and laugh.

[Ninga]

7. I agree. Stay as far away from them as possible. Ugh.

[MacKasey]

4. Tell me I am wrong

Does the confederate flag represent the people who assassinated President Lincoln or not?

If it does, the message should be that flag represent traitors

[mr_lebowski]

10. It represents traitors regardless ...

Not sure on the details of who, if anyone, was behind the assassination apart from Boothe.

[ProfessorGAC]

15. All Of The Conspirators, Were...

...Confederate sympathizers, while the war was going on.
They were traitors before they became Booth's cohorts.
Before and after!

[MacKasey]

16. More people were involved than just Boothe

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Abraham_Lincoln

The plan was for multiple killings

The co conspirators were hung

I remember reading years ago Lincoln had a plan to heal the nation but with him gone , and Johnson was a jackass so we are still fighting the civil war

[yellowcanine]

6. Rebel flags in Ohio to celebrate Ohio's Civil War heritage....oh wait!

Never mind.

[groundloop]

12. Well, we're told those flags are to celebrate 'heritage' and not racism......

So gee, what can they be symbolizing in Ohio?

[Blue Owl]

8. A whole collection of loser flags

[Ninga]

9. Yep.
