Uh-oh...Lib Alert! Seattle Residents Complained About A 'Confederate Flag.' (party affiliation, illegal)

Seattle. Let's face it, we're not exactly dealing with the sharpest knives in the drawer.

Doesn't look anything like it. The stripes on the Norwegian flag form a CROSS, not an X, there are no stars, and the white stripes on a Norwegian flag are more prominent.

Seattle has a higher percentage of college educated persons as well as people working in STEM (science, technology,engineering, mathematics) compared to many cities in the USA. Sounds like the residents are smarter than you give them credit for.

Well. technically that's a St. Andrew's cross on the Confederate battle flag - but what a fool this person has made of themselves. Other than the colors, which are shared by many, many flags, and having crosses - very different kinds of crosses - there is no resemblance whatsoever between the Norwegian flag and the Confederate battle flag.

I suppose one could argue that trolls (the Norwegian kind) made her do it...

Perhaps the best possible solution to prevent another harrowing experience of this type is to demand that Norway change their flag.

Immediately.

Get her "reasoning" for the mix up:

"........When Morris found out that she had mistaken the flags, she pointed to the current political climate as a possible reason for her mix-up.

“Maybe that’s the story,” she told the Seattle Times. “We’re so stressed by all things political that we see things that aren’t there.........”

Who's this "we"?

I'm not hallucinating, you are.

Norwegian Flag Mistaken for Confederate Flag in Seattle | Time

Oh sigh. Just another indication that too many non-PNW folks have moved to Seattle over the past 10 years. Time was, and not so long ago, either, that everyone in Seattle would have recognized a Norwegian flag. Having an 'Uff Da!' bumpersticker on your car was practically a requirement. Especially if your car was an old Volvo.
