Maybe it's because the US flag is a symbol of freedom from an oppresive imperial regime. That is hardly the case for the flag of St George or the Union Flag, both of which have been subverted to nationalistic purposes, and while they may belong to me, I don't want to see them everywhere.

more people fly American flags here (both left and right) than any other developed country I've seen. To the level that's normally reserved for international sport everywhere else but America doesnt really do international team sport so they fly year round. It is about American pride.

The Germans were equally proud of their nation in the 1930’s. Fortunately a lot of Americans know what the real reason is. youtu.be/Pf10u0IIHdQ?...

It's not fascism, that exists and is creeping in and like everywhere, trying to co opt the flag. In '08 when obama won, millions hung the flag. Millions fly it today in resistance to the right. It's everywhere and always has been. You can't tell someones politcs if they fly that flag.

Also worth remembering that the far right here have an affinity for the confederate flag.
