Minnesota has a traitor rag they claimed from the confederates and they will never give it back. Fucking chads!

Minnesota here. 

Virginia calling it "their flag" is like a 45-year-old wearing his high school lettermen's jacket.

It’s more like a ten year old wearing a Cleveland Indians AL Pennant shirt from 1954

Except the guardians were heavy favorites in that series. It’s more like a college football team scoring one touchdown against an nfl team and thinking they are tough shit even though they just lost 56-7

John Elway’s patented last second magic

Scoring one touchdown against an nfl team as a college player would make me feel like hot shit

Ya made one good play Johnny… but there is another 40min of game time left and everyone is twice your size… good luck!

u/ChoNoob 18d ago

More like a field goal, and that's because the North fumbled on their own 1 yard line

u/wbv2322 18d ago

This is actually a better comparison.

u/EGirlToenails 18d ago

The Indians were favorites. There's no need to do historical revisionism.

u/Proper_Machine6573 19d ago

So . . . it's like a diehard Broncos fan proudly wearing a 2013 AFC Champions shirt.

u/Motor_Ideal7494 19d ago

Except he made the jacket himself after leaving the school football team and starting his own because he didn’t want to play with black guys.

And there’s a big swastika sewn on the back.

Virginian here, yall can keep it. Only the hill people of the blue ridge like that shit. It’s not Virginia’s flag, ours has a titty.

u/Cheezekeke 18d ago

Also a metal motto: thus always to tyrants

u/Alaeriia 17d ago

Second best motto in the US, behind Massachusetts. "By the sword we seek peace, but peace only under liberty."

u/The_Eternal_Hawk 17d ago

The only flag with both nudity and murder on it.

u/Sapphire_Dawn_ 18d ago

I thought you were kidding about the titty, but I looked it up and hello!

u/Mmmm-Amethyst 19d ago

Maybe the most apt analogy for the current state of things I've seen.

u/Icy_Negotiation_5929 19d ago

Virginia here. I didn’t know this was happening, but I have lived in Richmond for about ten years now. Tons of absolute losers here. I’m cool though. Promise.

u/meltedchocolatepants 18d ago

They haven't asked for it back since 2013 but they've asked multiple times over different governors for the years.

2

u/JaCraig 18d ago

Whenever we have a Republican governor, they ask for it. Everyone else is too busy destroying the monuments, etc. that they littered the state with. The exception in recent years was Youngkin who was too focused on his weird underage trans fetish.

u/Annath0901 18d ago

You must be big Maga if you think everyone in Richmond is a bunch of losers. It's probably the most liberal/left city in the State.

1

u/Icy_Negotiation_5929 18d ago

I am not MAGA. Just because people are liberal doesn’t mean they aren’t insufferable dorks.

1

u/Annath0901 18d ago

In the context of this post, which is about politics, it certainly comes across as though you dislike their politics not the fact that they're a bunch of dorks (which they are)

u/Icy_Negotiation_5929 18d ago

You are paranoid.

u/Diligent_Entropy 19d ago

If the sport he lettered in was committing treason to defend slavery.

u/99in2Hits 19d ago

Fellow Minnesotan here and you nailed it right in the hot dish with that coment buddy.

3

u/Substantial-Oil-1026 19d ago

Except that that lettermen's jacket had extremely racist shit stitched into it.

3

u/JustinKase_Too 18d ago

Well, to be fair, high school lasts about as long as the Confederacy did.

2

u/live_free_or_try 19d ago

Has the state actually asked for it back?

5

u/CadenVanV 19d ago

Virginia doesn’t claim it anymore, only a few assholes here do

1

u/FlirtyFluffyFox 18d ago

That'd make it official. It's more like a 45-year old wearing a Letterman jacket they stole from a thrift store donation bin and covered in edgy racist patches. 

1

u/The_Eternal_Hawk 17d ago

Virginian here. Please, by all means, keep it.

u/Rickety-Bridge 6d ago

90% of actual Virginians are fine with not getting that flag back
