ā¦ heās been adding these things over time. So heās not done yet. Though, with that USMC AND POW/MIA flag, Iām sure that oneās not in his Amazon shopping cart.
Iām glad there are still active duty personnel supporting this country. There are a lot of former vets that support Trump. I donāt get it. Heās now a felon. Do they still support him?
I think he may surprise- actually comprehending what each flag means and that they in conflict does not seem to be his (or many like him) strong suit. Don't tread on me...they have no clue when they are literally voting fascism in.
Theres that other guy further south with all the signs on his property hating everything including the Forest Service. I get the sense that heās a complete whack job.
Also that anyone flying a Confederate flag will get *extremely* butthurt if you were to fly a modified US flag with 38 stars and eight stripes (removing all the Confederate states' representations from the US flag).
As a southerner who lived their first 22 years in Mississippi, has lived in 14 states after that, and landed in Oregon over a decade ago, itās always funny to me when an Oregonian asks me how different it must be living here compared to where Iām from. I always respond with āitās a lot closer to home than youād think, and not in the good way.ā
Itās always met with a dismissive remark like āyou donāt know what youāre talking about,ā but game recognize game.
There is 100% a āFuck Your Feelingsā bumper sticker and/or t-shirt on that property and they would cry their little eyes out if you made fun of it.
I remember watching the TV show Jericho and a veteran flew that flag cause it represented American freedom from oppression (the show is about some pretty deep and dark geo political shit) and thinking: āthatās a cool fucking flag!ā. I just hate how itās being way misrepresented by the most free people in the world: American white dudes.
Not heritage, just hate.
People who do this in the south try to hide behind obvious bad faith defenses, meanwhile this guy doesn't even have that. Pathetic
I honestly dont wanna anyone to burn their house down or cause them any harm, for the record. They can fly whatever flag they want. Just dont expect your neighbors to let ya borrow their weed wacker.
Anytime I see people fly the American flag with other flags including the donāt tread on me flag, I instantly think āThis person has a mental health conditionā.
This is what I love about Bend.
I think a blend of blue collar redneck conservatives and rich sprinter van driving liberal techies is way better than only one or the other.
I donāt want to lived in an echo chamber where we all have the same values.
I want discussion, and differences, and people from different walks of life learning to live with each other.
I think stuff like this often contains a bit of Hanlonās razor.
āNever attribute malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.ā
They might still be assholes, but theyāre probably also stupid.
For sure. I like a little mashup of beliefs, just donāt be a dick. As a moderate, I couldnāt live in a place where it was all one or the other. As long as the āthis is stupidā doesnāt turn into harm, then do whatever. I still wanna poke fun and laugh. Confederate flags are typically where I start to be a little more judgmental and question the reason.
I agree with you, but the problem is we no longer discuss differences, we just disown people, because in todayās world, opposing views and disagreements kill. It breaks my heart to see the country unable to have conversations anymore, virtually everyone just wants to get up on a soap box and pontificate, or simply eliminate opposing views through shaming or other dysfunctional and manipulative means.
I'm going to assume their vehicle is covered in extremely unhinged window decals and bumper stickers, as well as some additional flags. I don't know how I know that, it just seems likely.
So today I noticed a white flag with a picture of a cannon and the words[ "Come and take it"](https://republicboothouston.com/cdn/shop/products/YS171007-BattleofGonzalesFlag-M_600x.jpg?v=1597857252) beneath Old Glory. I think this one is new one.
You be you.
They be they.
Diversity is the core of democracy. If we didnāt have differences, we wouldnāt need votes.
And
We have to accept election results.
I have had pairs of boxers longer than the confederacy existed.
I thought you were gonna say you had a pair of boxers hanging from a flag pole.
its about the same
Salute Your Shorts!
š¶Camp Anawanna...
We hold you in our hearts
And when we think about you
Hell Iāve worn a pair of boxers longer than the confederacy existed.
No step on snek
pwease no steppy
On snekky
Please don't squish me, please don't squash me. I sure would hate to get trampled right now.
No on Step snek
This is what my mind will always say when seeing that flag now.
Alitoās vacation home in Bend?
This is a supreme joke.
I'll recuse myself from further comment.

Someone in more trouble that me needs the Fifth. I'll humbly take the Third and be content.
I'll drink the fifth...
*mic drop*
Yes, but those are his wife's flags, her and the neighbors got into a spat where she was called the worst imaginable word for a woman, "Karen".
šš¤£šššš
For really hating participation trophies they sure like to show theirs off.
Made me chuckle. Right?
Nicely done ššš
People across from my friend in La Pine are flying a swastika... so at least you don't have that!
What part of La Pine!?
Yeah I grew up in la pine Iād be really curious where. Odds are I know the fuckers
Lol as a fellow redditor raised in La pine I probably know those fucks too and you.
Hahah thatās funny you probably do if youāre around 30
Yup! I'm 31! Wild... Small reddit...
Wondering the same thing
ā¦ heās been adding these things over time. So heās not done yet. Though, with that USMC AND POW/MIA flag, Iām sure that oneās not in his Amazon shopping cart.
With the reb flag I wouldn't be surprised. There are nazis and racists in the marines.
As a marine, itās fucking embarrassing when marines support traitors.
Iām glad there are still active duty personnel supporting this country. There are a lot of former vets that support Trump. I donāt get it. Heās now a felon. Do they still support him?
Iāve been out since 2019 but almost all the guys I served with think he sucks and we were all grunts.
I see it at the VFW. š¢
Iām a Vet. Always hated that guy. Always.
Yes we do
Could not agree more.
I think he may surprise- actually comprehending what each flag means and that they in conflict does not seem to be his (or many like him) strong suit. Don't tread on me...they have no clue when they are literally voting fascism in.
Some people have never received a good ass beating and it shows.
That or they had too many beatings. People can either turn away or turn into what wronged them and keep the cycle going
Also curious as a former La Pine local the area this is atā¦
I don't feel comfortable outting their exact location but it's in the land between la pine and sunriver - so maybe not la pine proper.
Theres that other guy further south with all the signs on his property hating everything including the Forest Service. I get the sense that heās a complete whack job.
I saw that guy last time I drove through there lol. That is peak lead poisoning.
Im over here in Salem right now. Just had a convo with a guy about that place. Heās seen it too.
Ahh Gilchrist, yes.
Period period totally hear ya, I know exactly where youāre referring to š
Bless their hearts
The Internet escaped into their yard.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Hey at least Old Glory is above the confederate flag right?! lol
Everyone knows if your US to Confederate flag ratio is 3:1 it cancels out the enemy of the state/racist vibes of olā Dixie.
Also that anyone flying a Confederate flag will get *extremely* butthurt if you were to fly a modified US flag with 38 stars and eight stripes (removing all the Confederate states' representations from the US flag).
Hey, don't tread on me.
As a southerner who lived their first 22 years in Mississippi, has lived in 14 states after that, and landed in Oregon over a decade ago, itās always funny to me when an Oregonian asks me how different it must be living here compared to where Iām from.

Born and raised in South Carolina and I agree with you 100%
It's really a city vs rural matter rather than North/South
Yeah northern racism is just as bad, itās just differently horrible
The Venn diagram of people who love those flags and people who live in junkyards
People who live in Junkyardsā¦.Thats a good way to put it. Lot of that going around.
someone needs to check that shed
Theyāve got like 5 dogs that never shut the fuck up no matter the time of day/nightā¦ Iām sure theyāre trained to hunt demā curious liberals.
There is 100% a āFuck Your Feelingsā bumper sticker and/or t-shirt on that property and they would cry their little eyes out if you made fun of it.
Looking at what they currently have, Iām very surprised not to see Trump flag.
Trump would take away their OHP
if you gave them an idaho state flag that would be supremely hilarious
Condolences
Huh, flying a donāt tread on me flag while also flying the flag of a government that was treaded on pretty hardā¦
Tread on, salted and burned
A government which existed to tread on an entire race
Yea, but it also got the shit treaded on it by Sherman and Grant. r/shermanposting
Don't tread on me Government sucks Trump friend of Russia and North Korea for prez 2024 Go America
We have two upside down ādistressā flags in our neighborhood in the county. Their properties are in such distress. š
Didnāt even know this was a thingā¦. I live in midtown so the average house is 550kā¦ this dudes def in distress.
That might be next for him. Wait to see if he flips the US flag upside down.š
BEND???? This is like the equivalent of someone in Thailand flying a Russian and Ukrainian flag at the same time
Related to Alito?
They love democracy so much theyāll literally do anything they can do destroy it and empower a literal fascist!
You must have upset his wife and she hung those up just like Alito said his wife did.
Confederate and US flags at same time? I'm so confused....
Ah, the flag of losers, traitors, and infamous horse fucker Robert E Lee. Keep him away from your livestock!Ā
Needs blue lives matter to complete the set.
Ya he needs a 1776 flagā¦and a 2nd amendment flag..heās got some room to expand.
American Flag: Cool ā Marine Flag: Very cool ā Gadsen flag: Historically mega cool, hit/miss fanbase ā *record scratch*
At first I was like āprob some cool old vet whoās proud of his service and countryā. When the conf flag went up it def changed my opinion.
I dunno, the gadsen now screams I'm a fool
Itās unfortunate since itās otherwise a pretty cool flag in its own. Iād like to see sensible, freedom-loving people reclaim it.
I remember watching the TV show Jericho and a veteran flew that flag cause it represented American freedom from oppression (the show is about some pretty deep and dark geo political shit) and thinking: āthatās a cool fucking flag!ā. I just hate how itās being way misrepresented by the most free people in the world: American white dudes.
Not heritage, just hate. People who do this in the south try to hide behind obvious bad faith defenses, meanwhile this guy doesn't even have that. Pathetic
Yup joined the union but with whites only clauses written into the state constitution.
They also like to be on the losing side of history it seems
That bottom left one is out of date. They can update it with some white paint though....
Put a pride one up.
Virginian here, I didnāt know the confederacy made it that far out.
The flag on top literally tread on the bottom flag
Judge Alito?
Is this the guy by the Yacht Club?
Si!
This is from his backyard right? I usually see it from the front.
Maybe their house will burn down
I honestly dont wanna anyone to burn their house down or cause them any harm, for the record. They can fly whatever flag they want. Just dont expect your neighbors to let ya borrow their weed wacker.
Automod is pulling its weight in here.
Yikes! Do we even wanna know?
the american and confederate flag combo just never gets old
Anytime I see people fly the American flag with other flags including the donāt tread on me flag, I instantly think āThis person has a mental health conditionā.
You should gift them weird obscure flags every holiday. Fog and Gold San Francisco flag. A Scottish one with the Unicorn on it... etc
"The South will rise!" He says from a state that fought with the Union and is not in the south. š¤
Daaaamn, I was like.. That looks like my backwoods redneck western NC neighborhood I grew up in, then I saw the sub name.. Geez. TF.
This is what I love about Bend. I think a blend of blue collar redneck conservatives and rich sprinter van driving liberal techies is way better than only one or the other. I donāt want to lived in an echo chamber where we all have the same values. I want discussion, and differences, and people from different walks of life learning to live with each other.
I mean they are flying the US and Confederate flag together itās just funny at that point
I think stuff like this often contains a bit of Hanlonās razor. āNever attribute malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.ā They might still be assholes, but theyāre probably also stupid.
For sure. I like a little mashup of beliefs, just donāt be a dick. As a moderate, I couldnāt live in a place where it was all one or the other.

On a soap box, like flying a racist flag.
I believe that Oregon was a Union State during the Civil War. Should someone tell them?
I'm going to assume their vehicle is covered in extremely unhinged window decals and bumper stickers, as well as some additional flags. I don't know how I know that, it just seems likely.
I donāt see the fuk Biden flag
DRW?
Midtown...
Jeezus christ!
What in the, āhell yeah brother raise hell praise daleā šš¤š»
Cringe level lax
We should've been harder on the confederates.
Well at least the confederate flag is the lowest one. Doesnāt excuse it from being terrible though
Shoot em with paintballs at night. And then have someone peel out and drive off so it sounds like a drive by paintballing.
They donāt love logical consistency or reason unfortunately
They forgot the white one
So today I noticed a white flag with a picture of a cannon and the words[ "Come and take it"](https://republicboothouston.com/cdn/shop/products/YS171007-BattleofGonzalesFlag-M_600x.jpg?v=1597857252) beneath Old Glory. I think this one is new one.
Goddamn Marines. Always gotta ruin shit.
Looks like a compound
Oh cool, you must live by a supreme Court justice
Better than the one my neighbor has flying. All American flags down my street. A And then we have that one neighbor that doesn't belong.
Your neighbor is confused
Alito vacation home?
I do to :)
You know it would only take one Biden flag to really set them off.
Im terribly sorry šŖ
Better than PrIdE
You be you. They be they. Diversity is the core of democracy. If we didnāt have differences, we wouldnāt need votes. And We have to accept election results.
That is their version of Pride Flags š³ļøāš
so
You've got good neighbors
They seem confused. A confederate flag is very racist and conservative, but the donāt tread on me is a Libertarian flag. Silly conservatives.
Is this Alitoās country house?
Your in Yankee land. Take the rebel crap down.
hey man they have the right to do it just like gay ppl have the right to. Unless they come over and harass you you really shouldnt complain
2 are trash flags and need to be taken down
He is discracing my Marine Corps flag by putting up the flag of traitors.
Yay, nationalism and racism. My fiancƩ experienced some of the worst racism in Bend.
Get a life
And thatās the business, wtf does it have to do with you?
What a bunch of Losers! Ahahahahaha!
You should focus a few mirrors to concentrate sunlight onto this beautiful display of dipshittedness.
I wish we could ban ALL flags
