Weird that you never see a pickup truck flying this banner.

I'm in TN right now visiting a friend, and we took a stroll through a few historic sites/battlegrounds/cemetaries for memorial day yesterday.
Was surprised to see that there were a handful of graves with fresh confederate flags erected next to them
