one is acceptable. there's a lot of nice, decent people who have a flag up at their house or business.

more than one, though, and you can pretty much tell how big a raging hateful asshole they are by how many flags they have up and how poorly they're displayed. bonus points for bastardizations like 'thin blue line'.

Without a flag, Americans won't know what country they're in and they'll try and bomb it.

Dunno man, the only folks with OUTSIDE American flags I've ever met who weren't chuds were the kind who have like a bunch of flags outside of their house, one of which is usually Pride.

only one stars-and-stripes? the pride and others don't count in the asshole meter.

I've been noticing a lot of trump flags going above the American flag around Ohio.

It's not surprising, but it is very telling.
