        It’s a flag of a bunch of losers. Why would anyone want to fly the flag of some traitorous losers?

          it’s because they’re racist, and the long for a return to the days of open, de jure racism. they believe treating anyone other than cishet white christians as fully human is a violation of god’s intended order for the world. they’re monsters.
