It is not uncommon to have national and state flags, but it is not similar to how dictators like to hang their portraits. It is meant more to show pride of what you build together as a people, rather than to evoke fear and obeisance.

That said, this may have also been a photo op, and given the image is from texas, there are probably portraits of a dictator hanging around, too.

Also he dictatorship are (officially) pride of doing their work for the state as Americans work multiple jobs in fear of losing their paychecks, their health insurance.

Do you really think someone waving their country's flag is the same as waving a flag with the face of a dictator? Worldwide?

		This thread was about omnipresent flag presence in factories and such. And the way it's done in America is different from many other countries.
