People fly the flag for southern pride. Your own links confirms that. The majority feel that way.

The Confederate flag is a controversial symbol for many Americans today. A 2011 Pew Research Center poll revealed that 30% of Americans had a “negative reaction” when “they saw the Confederate flag displayed.”[46] According to the same poll, 9% of Americans had a positive reaction. A majority (58%) did not react. Among black Americans, 41% had a negative reaction, 10% had a positive reaction, and 45% did not. A similar poll taken in 2015 revealed little change from 2011.[47]
In an October 2013 YouGov poll, a plurality (38%) of those polled disapproved of displaying the flag in public places.[48] In the same poll, a plurality (44%) of those asked viewed the flag as a symbol of racism, with 24% viewing it as exclusively racist and 20% viewing it as both racist and symbolic of pride in the region. 35% viewed it exclusively as a symbol of regional pride.[48]
In a national survey in 2015 across all races, 57% of Americans believed that the Confederate flag represented Southern pride rather than racism. A similar poll in 2000 had a nearly identical result of 59%. However, poll results from only the South yielded a completely different result: 75% of Southern whites described the flag as a symbol of pride. Conversely, 75% of Southern blacks said the flag symbolized racism.[49]
Another poll, administered by Economist / YouGov after racially motivated violence in Charleston in August 2017, showed that by a 5% margin – 43% to 38% – the Confederate Flag was viewed as a symbol of southern pride rather than racism. However, participants of color were 32% more likely than their white neighbors to see it as a sign of racism.[50]
In July 2020, over a month after the George Floyd incident, Quinnipiac released a poll[51] showing that the majority of both Southerners and Americans in general now viewed the Confederate flag as a racist symbol rather than one of heritage, with 55% of Southerners associating the Confederate flag with racism compared to 36% who said the flag a symbol of Southern pride. Closely followed were Americans in general, 56% of whom said the flag was a symbol of racism, with 35% saying it was a symbol of southern pride.

I am not sure why you are being rude. I don’t agree with you. It’s that simple. I understand the concept but I think you are wrong. You have not made a compelling argument and then have liberal tears because people don’t agree with you. Maybe you need to reflect on why people don’t agree with you.
I’m treating you exactly how you treat me. Want me to treat you better? Fix your attitude.

That isn’t the confederate flag. That’s the confederate battle flag. How many times does this have to be explained to you ?
Meanings can and have changed. How many times does this have to be explained to you?

This is what’s known as projection.
Why are you so obsessed with Elon? I never even brought him up?
I’m sorry, but Elon isn’t going to message you back or return your love.
You’ve brought up Elon many times with your crocodile tears about him being a billionaire. Or are you suddenly ok with billionaires ?
