Next you’ll ask to hear no Lynyrd Skynyrd at Trump Rallies.

Good post there. My knee-jerk reaction was to allow the Confederate flag. As others have noted, if the Confederate flag isn’t there the insane leftists will find something else to whine about.

But then I approached it from a risk-reward perspective. I don’t see the reward here. The flag will not gain Trump any supporters. But it might lose him some (the suburban women you noted).

The Democrats will cheat like crazy this November. So every last Trump vote will be critical. So I say make the stands a bright sea of American flags.

It takes all kinds to make our melting pot. I bet there will be some flags I wouldn’t like flying amid the Antifa dopes. Let ‘em fly. The only one I revere is Old Glory. Got a soft spot for the Gadsden too though. The Rebel flag is part of our history. Absolutely never bury that. If an ignorant person objects, school them.

I’d bet you’re the grumpy old timer who yells at kids to get off his lawn.
The Confederate flag is an ugly eyesore that represents negativity to most of the population.
the only reason we keep it around is just to remember not to be such a big a_holes in the future. That’s why I’m totally against rewriting history and removing all the statues of the racists. We should keep them around to remember the terrible times and how much better things are now.
Good day sir.

2028 “Guys no American flags please. We’re going to scare off the suburban catladies. Also, don’t bring up the demolition of Mount Rushmore, those guys were all racists and slaveholders anyway.”

The battle flag will get the rally painted as a Klan rally. There are potential Trump voters who do not related to the Confederate stuff. We need them all. This is the most important election in American history.

Tulsa needs to be pure party of Lincoln. It is the site of a massacre of Republicans, and tomorrow’s rally will be a visit from the most Republican of Republican presidents in memory. The confederate flag has its place and this is not it, better the Gadsden flag if you don’t want to fly old glory (though I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t). Those dead Republicans were proud of old glory and you should be too.

Same here. Nothing to be gained.

Who the eff cares....we cannot govern ourself to please those who paint us

Not ever

You keep crowing how unracist you are Borges

That’s worked so well for us

When we quit worrying about it I’ll know we’re truly fighting back

Trump is against this garbage

He’s braver than many here

Jim Robinson is against it too

If you were southern you’d understand

What is conservative wanted to throw Jews under the bus nonstop to sate the left

How’d you feel

You’d be tired of it

Well I’m fed up

PERIOD

> Go eff yourself nikos <

We conservatives criticize the left because of their insane insistence on conformity. And it’s a fair criticism. If you are a leftist, you had better be 100% pure. Or you will be denounced the vilest of terms.

We on the right should avoid that kind of thinking.

“I’d bet you’re the grumpy old timer who yells at kids to get off his lawn.”

I bet you're a drug addled, propagandized and wussified punk kid.

You've got bigger concerns than on whose property you can trespass. Sorrow, deprivation and horror are coming your way... hard.

Confederate flag or The Stars and Bars
......................................
I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure the designation “Stars and Bars” actually refers to the national flag of the CSA and NOT to the Confederate battle flag.

There is no political advantage to it. At all. If Trump loses this election and the Dems win the Senate this country won’t exist ‘as is’ in four years.
