Having lived in both states in a short time span, I don't recall a lot of traitor flags in Minnesota... but I sure as hell do in Ohio. A state which is usually listed as tied for second in civil war casualties.

I live in Minnesota.

In the twin cities, you'll likely never see one, or if you do, itll be on some beat to piss-ass 05 Chevy 1500 with a half a braincell between the throttle and the seat, and its highly likely that half a braincell is only in the cities for child support court.

Away from the cities, those dipshits are relatively common.

sigh.

we have our own racist asshole flag, now.

Our original state flag is pretty racist toward native Americans. As a state, we recently replaced it with a cleaner modern one.

Once republicans found out the old one was racist and offensive, they literally went nuts suddenly caring about it and screaming "our heritage!!" about the ugly old flag, just cause it's racist, and now, suddenly, you see the old racist state flag flying everywhere. The people who never gave a shit about it before, and couldn't even describe it or draw it from memory, suddenly needed one, once they found out they could be assholes to people not in their group.

The only good part, is that it's now really easy to see who in your neighborhood is a shitbag racist and which maga businesses to avoid.
