You obviously have your own bias if you encounter it multiple times daily. That isn't average.
I don't know what you mean by "the media" but I'd like to see a clearer description. I'm not talking about what I see in the news or on tv shows and movies, I'm talking about what I see in real life and occasionally places like facebook or something.
And it isn't just the proud boys tarnishing it. I saw it used by a lot of antivaxxers during the height of the pandemic side by side with their science denial and misinformation, as another example.
Here in Virginia, it's one of the most common license plate options that isn't the (utter dogshit) default option.
Which means seeing it that often is average just for people who live in your state. Personally I can't even be certain the last time I saw one that wasn't on a screen. Maybe a few weeks ago on the back of a truck with some trump flags and stuff? All I can think of.
So then why is your opinion of what the flag means any good, considering you openly acknowledge having near zero interactions with it?
It's exactly as good as your opinion, which is to say both completely unimportant and extremely important at the same time.
Its all opinions, IDK what you want me to say. We could argue about it forever or stop talking right now and it would never be a settled fact either way.
But really, what does that even mean? I can only have opinions about things I regularly observe specifically when not on a screen? I hope you would hold yourself to that same standard about things you don't see in your day to day life.
