    For several years, Confederate flags have appeared in my home state of Michigan. You can see them way up north, flown by descendants of men who fought and bled for the Union. What gives? Benignly, a spirit of cranky independence. Less benignly -- you know what: white nationalism.

        The sight of the Stars & Bars in Michigan is stomach-turning -- more so than it is in Georgia, say. Why is that? I guess because, up north, you kind of have to work at it. And some people gladly do.

        In September 2017, I wrote a piece saying pretty much everything I believe about Confederate monuments and the like. I did this so that I would never have to address the issue again, with anything like thoroughness.https://www.nationalreview.com/2017/09/seeing-confederacy-clear-terrible-issue-monuments-and-all/ …

        There are perfectly nice, liberal-democratic people who walk around in Che Guevara shirts. They would never deprive anyone of rights. They would never construct a gulag. They're ignorant. Then there are others ...

        Well, George Wallace did win a Democratic primary in Michigan so that political strain has been around for a while.

        being unjustifiably generous to white supremacists is what jay's brand of conservatism has always been about

        Seems like cultural appropriation. Don't they know that's frowned upon.

        JFC jay. I live in northern mi. Family has had a summer place for up here for years. Maybe they’re reacting to shutting down the entire state for the sake of metro Detroit 🤔

        that's obviously not why confederate flags have been on display for years, but it's telling (and crazy) that you think it would be a reasonable reaction

        Taylor-Tuckeyites have likely bought their cabins Up North and started flying those flags too.
