(12,504 posts)I know many many people who previously just considered the flag just a sign of being a rebel. All of the news, all of the conversations have finally brought to light the reality of the flag, it's racial and bigoted history. Especially since it was used and reintroduce in the 1960 specifically as a stand against court ruling for integration and to bolstger the stand for segregation etc. Those same people who have received this recent education are disgusted to find out that they allegiance to RW standards, included tacit support of overt racism. They feel duped and pissed. I wonder how many of that will translate to sitting out their elections or changing a vote?
In my heart, I feel that while they are pissed, this will not change their allegiance. They may fight for change, but they are still pushing for a REP to occupy the Whitehouse.
