> 3) unify under nationalism (flags everywhere)

People flying flags everywhere weren't a thing in the 80s or 90s?




The few months after 9/11 were something else when it came to flags. They were EVERYWHERE.


Not as much and not as rabid. Combination of the Gringrich bullshit "culture issues" of the 90s and the initially patriotic and then nationalistic response to 9/11.
