In England there's two flags, a flag for if you're racist (English flag, except if there's a major sporting event), and the British flag for if you're proud of your country in a non racist way
Does it work the same way in the more reasonable US states with the state vs national flag?
Barely anyone uses state flags, unless its hung right next to a national flag. No-one really cares about them honestly, at least where I'm from. Conservatives are more likely to use the national flag, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone with just the state flag.
I can understand that if you're from a seal-on-bedsheet state, but I'd figure especially at the moment democrats in Maryland, New Mexico, Texas, Colorado (I definitely saw a lot of state flags alone in Denver), California, Hawaii etc. have a lot of reasons to prefer their actually nice flags
