I was talking about the battle flag. I specifically referred to it by it’s nickname.
You didn’t indicate that you were not talking about the battle flag, in response to my statement about the battle flag. Why not? Poor communication skills or just trolling? To say that the battle flag is not an actual flag is misleading and untruthful.
It was a misunderstanding, not everybody knows everything. In fact, I was the wrong one, having heard the battle flag referred to as the " stars and bars" but in fact that was the name of the original flag with the 7 stars in a circle on a blue field in the upper left, with 1 white and 2 red stripes on the right. I have heard several people say shit like “salute the stars and bars!” when referring to the familiar battle flag. So til.
Still, I have seen the original Confederate flag around, but never on a government building. I have also seen the Bonnie blue flag here and there. It makes me wonder how racist and backwards you have to be to put such a symbol on the side of your barn.
The cities you named are the most populous in the state.
The rest of the state is largely desert, rural, and where you see a lot of the confederate flags and similar sentiment among the population. In that sense you are correct that Oregon is a very rural, red state. But that’s only by land.
Land doesn’t vote, and it doesn’t take sides. People do. Luckily the majority of the people in Oregon are not as red as a first glance at a map of the state would have you believe.
Not sure why you’re having such a tough time understanding. Let me know if you need any more clarification.
No sir, it was the battle flag on the flag pole under the stars and stripes at the Caddo courthouse in Shreveport Louisiana. It was many years ago and I’m sure you wouldn’t find one there now.
When did any US government buildings the Confederate flag?
Ive seen the stars and bars at the courthouse in Shreveport, but that was years ago. Edit: correction: I mean the battle flag.
I have never seen a confederate flag outside of a museum.
I find that difficult to believe. It may be because you live in the far north, surrounded by damn yankees. Or possibly this is a dishonest statement.
Even when I was in the South, I never saw a Confederate flag. Maybe you are confusing the battle flag with the actual flag.
Oregon is far from Yankees. Outside of Portland, Eugene, Bend, this is a very rural, red state.

It’s an easy misdirect away from the actual problem. So yeah, it is absolutely misleading and untruthful.

I have never heard it called the stars and bars. Not saying you are wrong, just never heard anyone call it that.
That’s because that’s where most of the population is.
Once you get into the red districts things get waaaaaay more sparse. Most of it is desert.
Thank god land doesn’t vote 😂
Huh? Red states are deserts? The coast is a desert? I am not sure your statement makes any sense at all.
It’s pretty easy.

Read what you said again old sport. It was barely English.
The state isn’t as blue as you think. It’s a common misconception from people who don’t live here.
And then everyone clapped.
I find that hard to believe. Was it some ignorant protestor or something?
