I'm just amazed how high it is. Living in Europe, and reading "43% in the U.S. say they display the American flag outside their home" ... wtf. Is there any European country that has 1% do that?

News flash: other cultures are different than yours. People in them will do things that you don't do, or not do things that are extremely common to you.

Context: this is usually just for national holidays like Independence Day next weekend. It's just a way we've traditionally observed them.

OK. But even then we don't do that here.

		It’s just cultural. I don’t think Americans wear red, white and blue as much as the Dutch wear orange on their holidays as an example.

		Do you have an Independence Day from another world power?

Flags are weird.

In Canada, the right wing loves to fly lots of Canadian flags.

At the same time one of Pierre Pollievre's main slogans was "Canada is Broken".

He dropped that slogan after Trump made Canadian pride cool again, but the sentiment is still there.
