Possibly, but the part of B that extends outside of A is small and shrinking as time passes and more people fully appreciate that spending emotional energy trying to justify the distinction is stupid.
Stars and Bars enthusiasts will remain for some period of time as a tribal affiliation, mostly for white people who love their region of the country. The reality, though, is that it's a tribal affiliation whose strongest historical connection is to slavery and segregation. This realization, together with the reality that so many other Stars and Bars wearers are dipshit rednecks, will continue to shrink B until it's entirely inside A.
