But I’d wager that the average New Yorker has the same affinity for the flag as the average Londoner or Parisian. It’s not an American thing — it’s an extremism thing.
I’ve lived in NYC and London, each for 7 years. Many more union jacks in London and much more attachment to nationalism and the flag.

I do tend to view it as implying conservative republican. Not red hats/45 in particular.
I did put one up after HRC’s nomination acceptance speech, since I felt like she reclaimed patriotism. Flew it for a couple years, then the wind sheered the pole off the mount and it didn’t get fixed for a variety of reasons. I would consider fixing it, but it’s low on the list.

This thread made new remember by grandparents having a pole. They had usa and their host country( and family), I honestly don't remember what was on top. I remember most was them flying a blue Japanese fish flag when we visited because their son (my dad) was home. We're not Japanese. Cultural appropriation in a good way? I never thought about it before this thread. So, thank you
