A day in Trumper Central ...

I passed a weathered pickup truck flying a big tattered Confederate flag from a mast as it drove up the highway.

In Cocoa Beach, I passed a parked Jeep with a big sign:

KENNEDY 2024
UNITE THE STATES

The Trump roadside stand around the corner got drenched during a downpour. The banners got soaked, but they had to scoop up all the smaller merchandise. I still haven't seen a single customer there.

@LnzyHou The Confederate flag appeared upside down. It looked like this, except upside down and missing the red bar, although that was the tattered end.

I found this online:

"The third Confederate national flag was adopted on March 4, 1865, and was called the Blood Stained Banner. A red bar was added so that the flag would not be mistaken for a flag of truce, as was the flag of 1863."

@LnzyHou The vehicle flying it was an old beat-up mini-pickup, very cliché.

The roadstand stand is in the front yard of a run-down house with all the windows boarded up. An old car sits on bricks in the yard. Again, very cliché.

The word "inbreeding" comes to mind.

@LnzyHou Apparently he was flying the second flag, called the Stainless Banner, used 1863-1865. This Wiki page has details on the Confederate flags; the white meant their cause was "pure."

Why he was flying it upset down, who knows ...

@LnzyHou Oh dear ... The Wiki page states this was also known as "the White Man's flag," with the white denoting the supremacy of white people. 😳
