It’s not.
Basically, it drums up a null-and-void topic for the city political folks to chat about....instead of broken bridges, crime, homeless people or city parks in decay. It’s a fraud....but a four-star fraud, I must admit. It’s basically become....government-by-Twitter.
Thinking that area of the country should be worrying more about water, the historic bullet train to nowhere and being overrun by illegals, then a flag that does not fly over their city.
pinheads..... it’s the Black Flag of ISIS that they should be worried about , not the Confederate flag(s)
