a limited observation on local Arizona wing nuts [View all]

so, I live in a white rural area with a large Mormon population and there are a lot of repukes in the area. I see the occasional confederate flag and trump bumper sticker, but for the most part they aren't too obnoxious.

this weekend I had occasion to visit Show Low and environs (also fairly rural and Mormon). right on the main street is an over-the-top display of flags and trump paraphernalia. in fact it is a fucking trump retail outlet. I didn't bother to take photos, I assume it has been covered in the news. my observation was the vastly larger number of blatant, no-shame supporters out there driving around.

As well, I came across this interesting business display out in a rural development. A nursing home flying these flags!







yes, even the confederate flag has been defaced with "in god we trust"

for anybody that knows - is that cross flag normal or is it a Klan flag of some sort?

I guess bigots and racists need nursing care too, but I was pretty much just


EDIT: looking at google maps/satellite it kind of looks like the flags might be in a separate residence down that driveway. I might be wrong about the connection to the business. I don't want to impugn a reputation if they don't deserve it, but still...WTF?
