    Same, I squint really hard at first because I think it’s thin blue line flag, but then relax after seeing it’s the thin red line, but then again wonder if it’s a coded dog whistle. alphys-anxious

      i feel like it’s usually just a firefighter, someone with connections to one, or someone who’s witnessed the good work they do. i doubt most people without one of those would bother with it. unlike the thin blue line, they’re not trying to make a political statement, and almost everyone respects firefighters. i don’t see it any different from an EMT or conservationist thin line flags
