    They might, but it’s usually used by AfD supporters or far-right conservatives. Because of Germany’s history with nationalism, most sane people don’t use or show the flag all that much.

    Funnily enough, the most extreme Neo-Nazis, those who don’t even try to appear moderate, reject the German flag because it’s the flag of the Federal Republic. The German Reich they so desperately want back had a different one.
