Honest not trolling reply...
I think it looks cool but I wouldnt want to alienate half of america that doesnt like it by publicly displaying it. I think people that claim some connection to it or radically defend it are making shite up tbh. Dont care if it's in people's homes and dont care when people I know have it. Has no place on public grounds like courthouses though.

Does that include if it’s in the state flag?

Here's my take on the flag(it's not original but it's the most logical to me and many others):
Sure the flag represents the Southern Pride and Heritage and is relatively non-offensive in that context. But....
Since the end of the Civil War when the Klan was founded, the decent Southern Folks stood by and did absolutely NOTHING as the KKK openly waved that same flag as a symbol of solidarity among Klan Chapters across the country(not just in the south).
Thank your local Klan Leaders for ruining your Rebel Flag Party.
Silly Example:
How would we feel is a Far-Right Militant White Supremacy Cult in Montana began using the LSU colors and logo in their recruitment propaganda. You go to their site and this is there and their motto is Lets Stand Up(LSU).
Aside from LSU suing them, I think a TON of alumni, staff, boosters, fans etc would be outraged to be associated with such nutjobs.
See where I'm going with this silly example? Southern Governors and leaders stood by idly while the Klan destroyed the flag's original meaning and legacy.
