History means nothing to the right-wing, but when it comes up, they get the facts wrong.

Whenever I see “Don’t Tread on Me”, I always think “…Argentina”.

Both KS and MO has had those plates for awhile. It used to be more of a libertarian signal, but it has been co-opted more and more by the far-right.
But it was a good historical flag before this.
Personally, I prefer the original Navy Jack.
Mmm - IMO I am not sure the use of the rattle snake was because of that cartoon. The severed snake is a symbol for unity, much like the bundle of arrows (a bundle of arrows is harder to break than just one.) But a rattle snake will strike if stepped on, thus it’s use with the motto “don’t tread on me”. It signifies not outwardly aggressive, but will strike back if attacked.
I could be wrong, if someone has a link with more details on the origins, I’d be all ears.

I’m glad to see that New England incorporates the brains of the operation.

I laugh every time I see a “No Step On Snek” sticker on some three-percenter’s giant truck. It’s right up there with “Molon Labe” in terms of false bravado. But Florida doesn’t have to tell me not to tread there. If I ever end up in that state again in my life, it’ll be involuntarily.

In my redneck county there are several business that fly that flag. I will never set foot in there but I’m not their target customer.
Roy Wood Jr. does a bit about the confederate flag.
The link below is just the preview but the few seconds nails it.
