CHESTER, WV AUG 18: Some Confederate flag representations are being seen more often these days because of what has been labeled, “The Trump Effect.” Flying the flag in some places was once a political risk but in the Trump era more angry white Americans are using the flag motif as a protest vehicle and not concerned that it might represent painful imagery to some Americans. -These paired flags, The Confederate Flag and a Trump M.A.G.A. flag fly along the Lincoln Highway near a video store in Chester, West Virginia. -Many reject that the flag is a symbol of hate and claim that it’s a symbol of rebellion and a rebuke of political correctness.
