People have been flying flags long before the discord we see today.
If all flagpoles were taken down you actually think it would solve anything?

Don't ya think it depends entirely on the flags being flown? Everyone comments positively on our state and US flags flying above our camper. When at NASCAR Liz trys to fly all her flags at once

What flag pole setup?
I always fly the US flag and the Law Enforcement Appreciation flag. I am proud to be an American and a Vet.
If you don’t want to fly a flag, okay. It is a free country. But leave those of us who fly flags alone.

With that attitude, people thinking that way are the problem!
That would be the same as not putting a campaign sign in your front yard because your neighbor doesn't agree with you.

Glad to hear that. I’m going to install a third pole so I can piss off more folks.

So we are suppose to just abandon our free speech and patriotism because some snowflake is going to get upset. This is called Communism and not a country I want to live in. What this country needs is for people to chill out and grow thicker skin. I don't agree with everything I see, but I don't throw a fit and cause division, I move on. We are all entitled to our opinions on topics and suppressing our thoughts is not the way. We need more people to act like adults and agree to disagree without conflict. Unfortunately too many people now days act like children.

My neighbor flys his flag upside down since the election. Several people complained in our town and the State police visited him to make sure he was ok and to insure he understood the meaning of a upside down flag.
The flag still flys upside down 🤣[emoji23]. People pull over to take pictures all the time.

I choose not to fly a flag but I 100% support the right of anyone who chooses to do so.

One could simply ignore the flag, no need to be "pissed off."
The American flag is not why people are divided.
Now to answer the post, hitch mount seems to be the best for a large flag. I plan to get one of these to fly my own snowflake melter

Lundy you are correct. I recently had a slashed tire on my TT and other acts of vandalism because I did not support or pronounce the virtues of one particular LOSER, (his virtues are non-existent) I never initiated a disagreement but when they addressed me about the lack of support and allegiance for him I spoke my mind. Oh well, I needed a new set of GYE anyway. My flag flies proudly at home and at the campground. And it will continue to fly.

I see Brandon flags, Do not tread on me, Trump won, and much worse.
Some here admit to enjoying "pissing people off" which makes my point.
American flags, state flags are fine.
Some people have a need now to wear their politics out where everyone can see them.

Which is their right under the very first amendment to the Constitution.
I see it all the time as I travel around and it doesn't bother me in the least. If I disagree with what I see I might shake my head but I just move on.
No point in getting uptight over someone exercising a right as long as they aren't beating you over the head with it, literarily.

I'm with you Mike. People are free to say and display pretty much whatever they wish and it doesn't bother me. I may shake my head, sigh, groan or moan about it but that's all. It's the DOERS that I do take issue with. People can talk and do politics, religion or whatever floats their boat. Just don't go all up in your face on me.

Back on topic.. I mounted the Flag Pole Buddy mounts to my ladder to put my weather station a foot or so above the ac shroud, it was so easy to hoist and has worked perfectly for my needs…
