I don't get it, is it fallout or something?

Yes, it's about two of the three factions from "Fallout: New Vegas": NCR flag is left and Caesar's Legion's flag right in the meme.

From Wikipedia: "The New California Republic (NCR) is a democratic republic that attempts to maintain law; Caesar's Legion is a violent, tribal army of slavers that is inspired by the Roman legion; and Mr. House is a mysterious businessman from New Vegas who controls an army of robots called Securitrons, acting as the city's dictator."

Somehow I didn't even pick up on the two headed bear not being normal... I think I need to go to bed lol! Thanks for the explanation.

I had the inverse problem. Once I asked a guy you play FNV too but got a blank stare instead. Then I realized it's a single headed bear on his hat (a normal Californian flag).

Pretty much everyone that played FNV cannot tell the difference at first.

Well that makes me feel better lol, thanks

Well...Considering the NCR canonically died, I wouldn't say I have high hopes. Some people are kinda salty about them being destroyed in the TV show, but I think that was their most probable fate. It was a liberal democracy in decline fighting an imperialist war of conquest to prop up a nation suffering from rising wealth inequality, not some benevolent saviors. It was clearly the better of those two, but they weren't the only choices.

This is all a moot point because the Legion already took the Hoover Dam in our world. We're on the ending slides where they enslave and purge their enemies. The bull defeated the bear after it got lucky the first time, and the corporate elites are making sure to liberal democracy out of its misery so they can rebuild the America in their image.
