    To be fair, the car flags and stickers appeared after 9/11. Iraq was a convenient rotate into revenge for Daddy.

    Not justifying the flag stuff, but at the time briefly it felt like the country had been as a whole attacked and we were one. Then the shit started, the blaming Americans here who looked like the ones who did it, the Patriot Act quickly being agreed to while some of noticed there wasn’t even time to read it, etc. But just saying, 9/12 and the days after, the whole flag thing seemed rational.
