I saw something similar in (rural) Central Pennsylvania in the ’90s. Lots of Stars&Bars, and worse (saw being hocked at a county fair: t-shirts w/ MLK’s face in crosshairs, caption “Our Dream Came True!”). Every once in a while, the Klan would do a literature drop on a parking lot (including a high school parking lot).
Obama got a TON of flack for those 2008 remarks: but there IS a toxic phenomenon of people “clinging to their guns and [fundamentalist] religion” . . . and when that happens in areas that are, essentially & defacto, white separatist, racism is NEVER far behind. [And then a teenager gets killed for the crime of “Being Armed w/ a Sidewalk While Black”]

This has been a disturbing trend in Ohio politics for a while now. I often say to my rural northern Ohio ‘in-laws:’ “You do know you live north of the Mason-Dixon don’t you?” But they come originally from the South just two generations ago and don’t understand what I mean. Their grandparents came north for the jobs, but kept the attitudes.
There are many members of the Tea Party that uses the Libertarian excuse for racism. I’m not surprised the New Southers have come north to spread their own version of white Christian supremacy to a already willing audience. These folks can stand to live in an exurb, they are white flight personified.
