These flags cover the period right after the elections (since November 4,
2020) displayed at numerous rallies nationwide both contesting the election
results and showing support for incumbent President Donald J. Trump (both pro
and against if applicable). The following flags have all been spotted in rallies
all across the country after the elections closed and mostly during the biggest
protests in support for Trump on December 12, 2020 in Washington D.C. where
different events converged in the city, mainly "Stop the steal" (official
website: https://stopthesteal.us) along
with "Million MAGA march" (official website:
http://www.millionmagamarch.us,
https://twitter.com/hashtag/MILLIONMAGAMARCH,
https://twitter.com/MilionMagaMarch),
"Jericho March" (official website:
http://www.Jerichomarch.org, #JerichoMarch,
https://twitter.com/jerichomarch20),
and "March for Trump" (official website:
http://www.TrumpMarch.com,
https://twitter.com/hashtag/#marchfortrump).
More protests are expected in the near future so most likely flags will be
displayed during such events, some of them being arranged through
non-traditional social networks and media due to censorship of false claims.
The following flags may well be allocated in the previous three categories
since no new design has come to light (yet).

These are flags of the so called "Lion's Guard" or "MAGA Lion flag". This group first emerged back in March of 2016 and they describe themselves as "An informal civilian group dedicated to the safety and security of #Trump supporters by exposing Far-Left infiltrators and saboteurs". The name derives probably from a quote by Benito Mussolini that states "It is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep." as this source mentions: https://www.mediaite.com/trump/trump-pence-2020-logo-taken-from-suspended-white-supremacist-twitter-account.
This group supposedly disbanded (https://www.politicususa.com/2016/03/15/lions-guard-group-forms-bust-heads-trump-disbands.html) but its flag has been seen again in 2020. Additional information sources on
this topic includes their official social networks @wearelionsguard (https://twitter.com/wearelionsguard) and http://wearelionsguard.com, both no
longer active, https://lionsoftrump.net/ currently active, as well as these

This flag can be seen in use during the 2017.01.06 events in Washington,
e.g.,
https://www.youtube.com, at the right side of the screen. It’s almost
surely a mass produced item, so it’s likely to be seen elsewhere.
The
design merges the two flags in a clever way, adding at the fly of a suitably
shortened stars & stripes the flyside qudrant of the modern representation
of the C.S.A. flag: a simple red field with a blue saltire fimbriated white
and bearing white stars, incl. in full both arms of saltire.

This is actually an old design now - it was known to me back in 2013, when
Pete Loeser and I worked together on contributions about numerous US
ultra-rightist flags. I found it difficult to reproduce: note that there is
actually a red border outside the "outer" white fimbriation of blue
half-saltire, which fades into white on most flags, but maybe not always and
maybe in different ways on different flags - at least, that is what online
searches seem to have revealed to me.
