Where we meme (joking in tone and detail, serious in sentiment) about General Sherman, the Civil War, and how the secesh traitors had it coming.
RULES

No bigotry. The Union, or at least the part of the Union WE support, fought AGAINST that shite. We are anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic, and in general anti-bigot here, even if not all the lads in Union blue uniforms were.
-
No Confederate sympathizing. Anti-democratic racist slaver traitors don't deserve shit.

Those middle 2 flags are, purely from an aesthetic/design point of view, somewhere between amateur hour and war crime.
I felt the same, just flat out terrible looking. Just completely foolish, juvenile.
But an almost instant second thought was about how impossible it'd be, in that time and place especially, to keep those big white...stretches...continuing to look anything close to white. Civil War being the messy thing it was, Confederacy in particular not exactly known for their sharp discipline and order, lol...
Bet those things* looked like total ass, flown.
Almost makes for a funny metaphor, somewhere. Can't quite get there myself, but something to do with their big, badly designed white spaces getting browner all the time ๐คทโโ๏ธ
The flag of 'We drove a full cart of toilet paper in the March of 2020'.
