And am I misinterpreting it? Some flags of the left implicitly stand for respecting human rights. To me the snake flag seems to represent moments libs simply don't want to be stopped, whatever they're doing. Evil or not.

Gadsden was appointed as a commissioner during 1823 to help with the organization and the expulsion of most of the Seminole Indian Tribe from their homes in Florida and southern Georgia, along the Trail of Tears to land reservations that had been reserved for them in what is now Oklahoma.

This is the grandson of the guy who made the flag.

It's just us-foreign-policy in flag form.

It's a flag that says "I'm an asshole" and they love it.

Pretty sure Gadsden was pro-slavery so the "Don't Tread On Me" doesn't mean what libs and lolbertarians want it to mean.

It's literally a temper tantrum put on fabric

Like a toddler screaming "YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!" except the toddler has child support payments and access to several firearms

Depends on if they're chuddy or kool-aid libertarian.

Chuddy losers are trying to act tough and this is one way they think they're doing it. They think snek flag is a threat lol.

Kool-aid libertarians think they're intellectuals fighting for principled ideals. 90% of the time they're early retirement white guys trying to avoid paying taxes on the boat they just bought. It makes them feel smart.
