This is always my point about New England conservatives. The hardest red of red New Englander is little snowflake SJW compared to a Bible Belt run-of-the-mill average everyday conservative (hyperbole). Even more so for New Englanders who are catholic and think they are hardcore conservative. The religious right views right wing Catholics as performing conservative cosplay. So when I see the rebel confederate flag in New England I have to sigh, then laugh.
