as a resident, i was surprised Nevada got a shoutout as an example. i rather like Nevada’s flag – it’s not unfinished at all. the mostly blue field symbolizes the vast expanse of western sky here. i’ve heard people visiting from places like NYC say it freaks them out how much sky there is. they are used to canyons of walls, with just a slice of sky above.

area 51 wasn’t around when the flag was made, i guess ¯_(ツ)_/¯

interesting metaphor for slavery,
Well, the Massachusetts flag features the armed dead rising from the earth, but whatever.

Pretty much. It’s intentionally dumb, but it makes me laugh every time.
