Republicans, supposed defenders of the American Flag, disparaging it en masse

Is taking a knee during the Anthem next?

Upside-Down Flags Become Symbol for Republicans Protesting Trump Verdict

After a New York jury returned a historic guilty verdict against former President Donald J. Trump on Thursday, many Americans chose to rally around the flag. The upside-down flag.

Social media overflowed on Thursday afternoon with images of Old Glory hung with the stars on the bottom, posted by elected Republicans, right-wing activists and regular Americans upset by the news that a former president was now a felon.

They're a bunch of over emotional drama queens. This is insane. I can't imagine ever look at these so called adults and thinking that is the way to be.

Shameful.

I agree. This sort of behavior in mass numbers caught me by surprise.

 

[jaF0]

Didn't somebody say in another thread that doing so is illegal? Perhaps charges against some of the 'Pub figures?

That is a concise way of explaining the Hitlery Clinton victory dance.

apparently not, though anyone in genuine distress (such as after a natural disaster) needing help might find themselves ignored

The upside-down flag traditionally indicates distress and, on occasion, has been used as a sign of protest. The right to display a U.S. flag in that manner was even upheld by a Supreme Court decision in 1974.

Nice self own, wizz.

In my neighborhood every Trumper who flew his rag put it higher and more prominently than Old Glory. They don't care about the flag or the constitution. They only care about how they can use them to further express their hate and fear of democrats.

Imagine someone being invested in a MAGA flag and their Dear orange leader above all else…

It's the hate and fear they're invested in. The MAGA flag and Trump are just standard bearers.

I would call 911 and report an emergency for that address.

Any Boy Scout (or Girl Scout I would guess) knows that flying the flag upside down is a distress call.

This is the result of 50 years of conservative propaganda. It has been aimed at stirring up distrust and hate of the other party, distrust of American institutions and distrust in American government.

They claim to love America - all while tearing down her government, institutions and citizens.

Nawwww...get hold of John Prine when it comes to flags:

Flag Day today

American Legion National Commander Daniel Seehafer in a statement to NBC News said the flag should never be displayed upside down, "except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property."

 

[Veroe]

*Ahem*

"These people are disrespecting our troops who fought and died for the freedoms we now take for granted represented by our flag. All of them are ungrateful of their sacrifice. They should be deported immediately for being so un-American as to kneel...err...hang our flag upside down."

Spout their own words on kappernick kneeling during the anthem right back at the hypocrites.

Flag Day today. Hopefully no families of Supreme Court justices will be frivolously flying one upside down today.
