This is shaping up to be the thing right wing nuts get outraged about this upcoming week. I feel like this is a good litmus test… anyone who gets angry about this is probably way more of a white nationalist than they are letting on. You think these same people who be angry about a blue/white/orange tricolor, saying it’s too close to the Dutch flag?
I guess this dude is counting on nobody outside Minnesota looking into this at all, because even the Wikipedia page on their state flag has a subsection for the North Star Flag design from 1989 that most of the redesign finalists are based on.
