I live in Arlington, VA. I've been on the road through the Midwest too.

Around Washington, you see a few flag decals on cars, but most of them
have nothing. Most of the houses around here have no flags up.

There are probably pockets of flag-waving, but I still think that survey
is full of shit. People are telling that pollster what they think they
should be saying.

"...ironically, perhaps, the best organised dissenters in
the world today are anarchists, who are busily
undermining capitalism while the rest of the left is
still trying to form committees."
