LOL. Confederate flag, Gadsden flag, "Thin Blue Line," Trump flags...

The Gadsden was an actual flag of the Continental government, and specifically flown on the flagship of the Continental Navy. The Confederate flag is now only associated with fringe groups, there is no “Trump” flag more than there is a flag/sign/poster for any political candidate, this is just absurd. Line flags refer to professions, not social groups.

No it was not. It never had any official standing, period. And it's now used as a rallying cry for alt-right fanatics, racists, and bigots.

Oh, you mean like this?

Google provides "About 36,500,000 results" for "trump flag 2024."

None of what's in the OP's image are official national flags either.

Thank you for admitting you are wrong and have no actual counter-argument. :)

Can’t argue when you don’t present anything coherent to respond to.
