Disparaging people for flying their flags, or for being from the sticks, or for their voting choices is an attempt to shut down their right to free expression. Half the population voted for the incumbent president, a small percentage proudly wave the rebel flag around. Neither action makes them violent. Violence isn't flag waving. Violence is pushing, shoving, assaulting, or as the dictionary puts it, "behavior involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something."In the Trump south you will run into this in other towns. Seems like the rednecks with their rebel flags in the back of their trucks are numerous.Just be careful when your in those towns and back roads.
