This wildly contradictory flag prompted all sorts of totally on-point responses but this hilarious comeback beat all-comers
They do love a flag in the United States, and we’re not averse to them from time to time. But we’ve never seen one like this, a wildly contradictory flag which just went viral on Twitter for reasons which will become immediately obvious.

Nope, we didn’t see that coming either (and just in case you’re wondering about the history of the Conferadate flag … )
‘In 1860 and 1861, eleven southern states seceded from the United States to protect the institution of slavery, forming the Confederate States of America and sparking the U.S. Civil War. After the war, their flag was adopted as a symbol of Southern heritage at the same time as it represented slavery and white supremacy.’
And it prompted no end of totally on-point responses.
the south is seceding for entirely DIFFERENT reasons this time apparently

This person had a theory …
Potentially those trying to “reclaim” a symbol, trying to be Southern Pride, with double meaning.

But if you’ve got to explain it, it’s not working. Just doesn’t make sense (and sensibility).
