Being susceptible to fascism isn't exactly an American invention. It's a failure of liberalism that leads to this, as democracy is eroded by capitalists.

It was bad, but mind the cultural context they it was widely considered the "southern" flag (by southern whites) which just happened to also have been used by the Confederacy. There was a century of pro-Confederate propaganda we were raised under, and we've only recently reckoned with that.

A lot of those same people who flew it when they were kids decades ago denounce the thing today, thankfully.

It's not even a good idea if you're a Zionist! This jingoistic shit is threatening the safety of Israelis too, by dragging the whole region into war.

As memory serves, she had been asked in an interview if she would, and she gave a somewhat vaguely-worded answer, that she wouldn't rule it out.
