My ex from Norway mentioned how unusual it was that so many places and people here fly our flag (USA), so I was curious to hear what it’s like for others here on the fediverse.

It’s actually become very common for people to mount flags in the bed of their truck or to the back of their car. Was relatively rare until Trump was elected President, then it became much more common. The most common is at/on houses. If a house has a flag pole of some kind, it’s almost always the US flag. If they have more than one, it’s usually followed by one of: military branch they or family serve(d) in, favorite sports team, or political statement (pride flag or Trump 2024 being most common in my part of the country).
But you are right about the 4th of July. US flags are plastered everywhere and people start to look at you weirdly if you don’t have one displayed somewhere. Part of the reason I’m glad I don’t really have neighbors now.
