How common is it to fly your country's flag, and how is it seen by others? (self.asklemmy)

My ex from Norway mentioned how unusual it was that so many places and people here fly our flag (USA), so I was curious to hear what it's like for others here on the fediverse.

I lived in MD for a few years. The flag is everywhere. You can always tell someone from MD, no matter where you are, because the flag is incorporated into their clothing. I've never seen anything like it from anywhere else.

I'm in Maryland and unsurprisingly have the state flag flying right now lol. It's the only flag I usually have on the flag pole.

I'm just north in PA, I think MD has the best looking flag of any state. I understand why it's plastered on everything down there.
