Starting to identify as Cascadians rather than Americans?

What the title says. I saw a post similar years ago, and i think it more applies now. (I would hope for decentralization though, i don't think most of us want to be associated with America right now).

So, when traveling outside of the country, who's willing to say you're Cascadian? How do we feel about transitioning to use the Cascadia flag rather than state flags?

I'm willing to do it, but a movements never gonna happen if people continue to not do anything or not step up.

I've preferred to say I was Cascadian for some time. I would ultimately love to see the region in some form gain some level of autonomy if not complete independence. I love the Cascadian flag and haven't been pro America or its imagery for years at this point.

It’s gotta be one of the best flags out there. Perfect colours and who doesn’t love a Douglas Fir.

I love the way the layout represents a nature scene that you can actually see here: blue sky, white mountains, green forests. The colors are unique and aren't the over used red white and blue and the Doug is a great representer of the region. I remember liking it right away the first time I saw it before I knew what it was.

Cascadia and Alaska. There are no better flags.
