Not the flag you normally expect to see flying from the back of a lifted pickup

Except the U.S. flag needs to be on the passenger side per the flag code.

Is it upside down,  or is it just an effect of how it stopped flapping when they parked?

Not technically an american flag. The stars are arranged in a peace sign.

Are you sure that’s the US flag? It doesn’t look like it has the 50 stars laid out in a rectangle. Probably spells something we can’t read from this angle.

It’s one of those peace America flag.

Looks like it’s not a U.S. flag, but yeah, definitely up side down. Good catch.

Peace sign apparently.

I mean we have multiple prideful LGBT pickup owners here on Oppo. Not sure any of them are lifted or flagged, but I don’t think they’d be bothered by the aesthetic.

What I mean is that usually when there’s an 8-foot flag flying from the back of a pickup truck it’s a different kind of pride. A kind of pride that’s getting a lot of flak lately

What’s the 8:46 reference?

Flags plural - US/p eace f la g flown upside down to in di cate distress isn’t exactly bro-normal either.

In flag code, an upside-down flag indicates distress or imminent danger

lol seriously. I was scanning the image for longer than I intended after I googled “right wing prius”. Initially to make sure there wasn’t anything horribly offensive, but then I was like wait wtf is this guy actually all about?

We learned a few months ago that gay rednecks can apparently be a thing, so this could mean that the phenomenon is more common than originally thought.

I wonder what the mental process is behind the confederacy defending the constitution.

Lol its thoughts like that that made me stop looking at that pic haha.

You know you are dealing with an idiot when they have a bumper sticker with a confederate flag and which says “fighting for the constitution since 1861"!

Pride Flag and upside-down ‘ real’ confederate flag... I agree. BLM and support for all.

Every time I see big flags on a vehicle, I think of this . Surely a pickup truck meant for towing would be more up to the task, though.

Not sure, but it is the time of day that the first airplane struck the WTC on 9/11.

Yes, but I forget whether there was a gay character in that. I’m thinking sort of that flamboyant Jim Varney-like guy that hoarded tigers and put a hit on a competitor. Definitely a red neck, and as gay as Paul Lynde.

I think he’s referring to a certain series about a zoo.

Yeah I got it after.  Although,  Ozark was kinda prescient. The gay hillbilly even kept oscillots.
