When I  moved form Oklahoma back to Massachusetts, one of he things I was looking forward to was being part of a progressive environment that I certainly did not experience in the place I had just left.

As luck would have it, moving onto Cape Cod, I quickly found that I had simply moved from a land-locked Oklahoma to an Oklahoma that had water on three sides.

I was taken totally by the surprise  with the conservative attitude that seemed, to me anyway, to be totally out of place.

I got very familiar with my new home, and explored as much as I could, and, being somewhat of an observer of humanity as one has to be if one blogs, draws cartoons, and refers to himself as “one”, I got a job with local people so that I could interact with the locals both as a coworker and one who served them as a cashier in a store many would frequent, and get to learn about the people among whom I was to live.

There was a presidential and senatorial election coming up soon after I began working at the store, and I was rather surprised at what I was hearing from coworkers about the state of the United States that was nowhere near he United State I knew. Mine was not as conservative, mean-spirited, or as depressing as the country these people lived in.

One of my coworkers loved his version of America and had bumper stickers all over his pick up truck that declared as much, and on major patriotic days that weren’t just holidays, but anniversaries of historic events, he would attach a hug American flag to the bed of his truck so that it would steam proudly behind him as he drove declaring his love of country, and, I would imagine was a little annoying to the cars directly behind him as its size and waving obviously would make visibility difficult.

On really big patriotic holidays he would add the Confederate Stars and Bars and claim it showed how American he was.

This really confused me as the Confederacy had attempted to break up the country and started a war in the hope of doing just that, and there were casualties of that  war who had fought for the Union and were buried in cemeteries all over the Cape.

After a while the controversy began of having the Stars and Bars on some Southern state flags and freely displayed as if it did not represent racial oppression and was one of the banners of a country who had attacked the United States and ultimately lost the war it had started.

With that controversy, more Star and Bars flags, decals, and bumper stickers began to appear on pick up trucks with some bearing the legend “It is not racist. It is our heritage”.

I still perform docent duties at a museum I had been working at on the Cape before my move from there to a more affordable place on the mainland, and as I was passing one of the houses I have passed many times, I noticed that not only did this person have a Trump bumper sticker on his truck, but his Stars and Bars decal had grown considerably in size, something my museum coworkers and other friends have noticed happening throughout the Cape.

If this is not a form of racist expression, could someone please explain to me how a Confederate flag is part of the Cape Cod Heritage?
