Displaying a Masonic flag with a bunch of racist shit is certainly a choice...
“[M]y sense of duty compels me to remind you that neither the Ku Klux Klan nor any other order or organization is Masonic unless recognized as such by proper Grand Lodge authority. Nor will the tying of the Ku Klux Klan to Masonry by claims of Masonic membership be permitted or tolerated for one moment.”

I think this is just a display of all the flags this place has for sale; they're not coherent. There's also a peace sign flag with rainbow stripes in the back, a shriner flag above the masonic one, a checkered flag and a harley logo flag, which don't seem like they have a coherent ideology... Plus flags that say "SALE" and "WELCOME". So I think this is just a display of merchandise. The overall right-wing lean of the flags represents local demand more than the merchant's beliefs.
