Black flag: Understanding the Trumpists' latest threatening symbol

I posted about the black American flag a few weeks ago on Living Blue in Texas, and the article is continuing to see loads of traffic. It's been referenced in Press Run, Wonkette, and this morning, Salon.

https://www.salon.com/2021/10/12/black-flag-understanding-the-trumpists-latest-threatening-symbol/

"The liberal opinion site Living Blue in Texas is sounding the alarm about the specific meaning of the black flag and the Republican-fascists support for terrorism and other political violence. That post, "Are Your Republican Neighbors Planning on Killing You?", merits lengthy quotation:"

I'm glad people are starting to pay attention to this. I have been writing about and trying to draw attention to extreme right-wing violence for over a year. Although, most of my focus has been on Texas militias. I've been called an alarmist more times than I can count, but what the right is doing and has done is alarming. I only want people to pay attention to what's outside of their own echo chambers and realize that America is really sick right now, and there are a lot of people who are openly discussing violence, martyrdom, and treason.
