In the before times you would only really see the US flag at post offices and schools. Maybe a flagpole in a strip mall. But only because McDonald's wanted to fly their flag and it would be weird alone.
As a zoomer I'm kinda shocked by this. Americans being weepy flagwavers who display it anywhere they can just feels in-character to me, I never would've thought it wasn't in front of people's houses and shit back then.
People would have one in their closet to put out on like veteran's day or the 4th. You'd be a little weird having it out otherwise. There'd be like one guy at the town fireworks display who had a flag shirt. Couldn't figure out if they were rah rah about the country or the picnic.
Can confirm, I was not alive and do not understand

Yeah I just can't imagine Americans in the 90s not being 24/7 turbo jingos
or like 40s, 50s, 60s Red Scare era, I figured they'd have the flag everywhere

Sounds like how people fly their flag in most other countries... damn, we used to be (more) normal lol
Would it shock you to know that we used to be able to meet people at the gate in airports, without having to go through security?
Know about that one from movies, so no lol
Airport security changes in general I'm well aware of
lol what no
i was in the US in about 1998 and it was full of flags. the amount of flags was already ridiculous.
