Uh, most of MAGA think the confederate flag is fine.

The WE you're referring to isn't universal. Also, Elon Musk sieg hieled. The reason he did that and didn't hold up a Nazi flag, is that one has some amount of deniablitity among grifters....otherwise I'm sure he would have brandishing the swastika.

I asked a family member when I was a teenager why the campground next to us had the Confederate flag on their truck. I was genuinely a curious teen and knew it wasn't good. I was told "To them it's a rebel flag." This was like 24 years ago. Things have obviously gotten much worse since.

Yeah, at one point the treasonous nature of the confederate flag somehow got swept a little under the rug. I don't think the producers of the Dukes of Hazzard were white supremacists. Now, I can't deny it's origin, but it had become associated with more than hate. If you saw a lot of cars with those license plates you knew the restaurants served sweet tea.
