Yup! Would be great to see the 6 states of New England band together to do this. And throw in NY for good measure.

What's up with the confederate flags in upstate New York? Why don't they move to a state that actually joined the confederacy?

Has nothing to do with the south, its a dog whistle for racism, nazism, and MAGA now. Most every time I see one on the back of a pickup, there is a "TRUMP" flag on the other side. And usually some punisher stickers and often nazi code stuff like "88" or the Aryan fist sticker.

25 years ago, it was just a "I'm a proud redneck" thing (thank the Dukes of Hazard for that) and might have been mostly innocent. Not anymore.
