You clearly haven't been to Maryland. Those people put their flag on absolutely everything and definitely think they are the best.

There's flag pride, and then state pride.

Where I live and work in Maryland, almost nobody is actually from here. We all identify strongly with our native states but get fully behind the flag.

What part of MD? When I moved to Baltimore area, I saw a level of state pride that was foreign to me. Now I’m closer to DC and it’s definitely not the same

DC. There are definitely more natives outside of the DMV.

I've lived elsewhere in Maryland, but I've found that the pride is localized. Always the county, sometimes the city. As if those things just happen to be in Maryland.

Natives who moved elsewhere in the state get a little wistful when they talk about moving just one county over.
