I like the pride flag with the chevron and circle more.
I read one of Neal Stephenson’s more recent works, I forget which, in it he talks about a region near Washington State and the surrounding area which was called Ameristan. In it you need to wear clothing of one material, women need to cover themselves, etc. The people lived in an evangelical theocratic state which interpreted the Bible literally.
One interesting point was the interpretation of ‘rocks’ to be a coded message for ‘bullets’. The idea was that ‘bullets’ would not have been understood in antiquity, in the contemporary era it could be understood as such and was awfully convenient for USians who fetishize firearms.
Seeing this kinda stuff makes me think Ameristan is not too far off.
