Black flag: Understanding the Trumpists' latest threatening symbol [View all]

[Shell_Seas]

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.

"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.
