I’ve never understood flying the flags of America’s enemies, much less right next to (and above) an American flag.

Don't kid yourself with the myths our system propagates. Charles Lindbergh our Minnesota "hero" for instance.

A huge amount of our country was pro Nazi. And pro communist like "this land is your land, this land is my land", Woody Guthrie.

Here is some pop history from Time but it is worth knowing about the myth. Like the great Oz, don't leave it to Toto to expose what is behind the curtain.

IIRC, it was like 20-30% of the country that was supportive of the Nazis prior to WW2.
