I'm thinking that the people that fly the Confederate Flag do so for much the same reason some Mexican Americans fly the flag of Mexico.
Why is one supported and the other vilified?
Mexico is a real country with a real flag.
The Confederate States was a self declared country that began in 1860. The new country even formed alliances with several foreign powers. It was a REAL country with a Real flag for several years.
Guevara was captured and executed in Bolivia. He directed firing squads that murdered hundreds of people. Folks still wear his image on T Shirts.
New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

They even had 3 different flags.. the one we know today is based on their second flag but it isn’t exactly the same... it was the battle flag of the army of northern Virginia...

One of our neighbours in Florida had to take down his Canadian flag because of objections from neighbours
I don't mean to brag, but I just put a puzzle together in 1 day and the box said 2-4 years.

The black mob has destroyed statues of Lincoln, Grant, and Douglas, three men more responsible for the ending of slavery than any other three men in U.S. history. This is why we need to first educate, second, not white-wash history.
Have you noticed that the folks tearing things down are majority white?

Nobody said stupidity is limited to one race, nor exclusive.

The loser flags have no place flying over state and federal buildings. It's disrespectful to the USA to do such. It would be like Nazi flags flying over German government buildings. As far as private property, you should be able to do whatever you want.
As far as Nascar or any other private business, it's there business they can do as they please. If people don't like it, don't watch or spend money on it.
Easy peasey.
Counting all the assholes in the room I'm defiantly not alone.

I'd purchase them and send to all of my enemies. Both of them.
Who are your enemies?
