The American flag: To some, it’s Old Glory. To others, it’s a MAGA hat on a stick.

    Do other countries not have citizens flying their national flag? To my anecdotal knowledge, Italians, Mexicans, many South Americans are extremely proud. In my Brazil-American majority neighborhood, you know where literally every Brazilian-American lives because they have the flag of Brazil flown.

      You rarely see Mexican flags in Mexico or even national colors outside of football contexts. In fact it’s technically illegal to display flag because it is considered an official emblem of national authority (kind of like wearing a fake badge).

      Mexican flag use is mostly a Mexican-American thing which is influenced by American flag use…

      In my brief experience Parisians are extremely patriotic, the number of national flags I saw there is about up there with Americans.
