| Trump and Confederate flags fly together forever. Minneola, Kansas. June 2020. |
I left maskless Meade, with its coded "Situation," and just up the road a bit, passed through Minneola.
On this road trip into the Midwest, it has been so disconcerting to see how people twin Trump with the traitorous Confederate States of America, founded to protect the practice of enslaving women, men, and children.
It is raw racism, unmasked and unashamed.
I can get that this is part of the Trump brand.
But how does one reconcile the pairing of the United States flag with the Confederate flag, as if they were equal? Isn't this action on the level of burning the American (that is, the United States of America) flag?
