Imagine starting or rallying towards a civil war
… for some dumb, stupid, meaningless, ignorant, arrogant and self serving politician like Donald Trump.
He’s not even a politician
He’s a game show host who was informed his only chance of staying out of prison was to be elected president
But then he committed more crimes, so even having been president will no longer cut it
He’s not even a game show host. He’s a failed real estate mogul who inherited his wealth and then squandered it, bankrupting multiple businesses along the way.
Not to mention a professional debtor who has probably borrowed more money than he’s ever made for himself.
That is not fair he made that money…out of thin air by fraudulently misrepresenting the value of his buildings used as collateral for those loans.
Counterpoint: it’s more like they are trying to use support for him as the excuse to start the civil war? But if not him, they would find some other “cause” for it.
With arson, it is not enough simply to put out the immediate fire.
“Don’t desecrate the flag unless we want to”
Same group that threw a hissy fit over flag burning
But God forbid you kneel during the anthem…
I can’t wait to hear the conservative explanation on how the two are completely different and not at all related.
They’re not brown. Duh.
Y’all run out of Confederate flags AND No Step on Snek flags?
You leave that adorable no step on snek flag out of this. It’s so cute! Even though it’s meant to be a parody of the gadsden, I sadly can’t enjoy it without people making assumptions. :(
This is all I see there, I’m sorry.
Whoa, that’s a really cool dragon! Can you teach me how to draw that?

Needs more tears
I like this one personally
Join my movement to turn “don’t tread on me” to a bikers first message. We support bike infrastructure and stopping cars from treading on cycling.
and
yuletidexmass tree flags.You misunderstand. It’s an international sign of distress, or a way to protest your neighbor’s inappropriate yard signs. Isn’t that right, Justice?
Don’t worry, I’m sure the factories in China are just spinning up production now.
Now is your chance to sell the new upside down american flags for triple the price to the stupidest people on planet earth. Do it quick before they realize they can just flip over the 27 flags they already own. End your ebay listing with god bless to really sell it.
They need 88 for the full set
It’s not a form of right-wing protest. It’s a form of peaceful protest that is currently being used by right-wing morons. There is a difference. Words matter.
Stop assigning ownership of symbols to fleeting groups of imbeciles.
(also the OK hand sign has nothing to do with white power)
Right-wingers love to disrespect the flag. Seems to contradict their allegiance to the flag, and the liberty and justice for all it is purported to represent.
Conservatisms ultimate allegiance lies with authoritarianism and dictatorship.
Thought the upside down American flag was just a Hexbear/tankie/communist thing.
It’s sort of a cliche thing to do whenever you’re out of power. Frankly I’ve always liked it.
Babies. Hypocritical babies.
Aren’t these the same fuckers who wailed about respecting the flag?
So … kneeling during the anthem bad, flying the flag upside-down good?
Come on man, this isn’t reddit. Let’s not repeat other earlier comments here.
I’ll take your concerns under advisement. Man.
I mean, if you want the comments section to be filled with the same things over and over, go for it. Enshittify away.

Isn’t flying the flag upside down against the US Flag code? Then again, so is turning it into clothing IIRC.
These people believe that the law protects but does not bind them.
Also, technically the Flag Code isn’t the law. Not that that occurred to them when people were using it for progressive protests.
I had to laugh when I was talking to some young con at my university who was beside himself that someone…gasp!..burned a flag on campus in protest. He thought whoever burned it should be in prison.
I first asked him - what about the First Amendment? He didn’t GAF - not “that kind” of free speech, that’s too far! I asked him if he knew what the proper disposal of a flag was? I told him the right way was to BURN it, and so what should happen to those people who are disposing of flags under this new law he wanted that banned burning of flags? He didn’t believe me and was aghast that I’d even say such a thing. LOL.
I also asked him what he thought should happen to old shirts, shoes, and every other random item the flag is plastered all over - if someone tosses those in the trash, and they get incinerated, who goes to jail for that? At this point, he was kinda worn out…
They never think their gonzo opinions through to their logical conclusions.
I’m sure to some sovcits out there, flag code is as sacred as maritime law from 200 years ago.
You have to accept these pieces of paper I printed out instead of me paying off my credit card debt because I invoke USC 420.69 Hocus Pocus Debt Begonus.
No, but you see how they care about rules in general.
And binds but does not protect anyone else.
No, its an old symbol of distress
So they’re fragile?
I mean…
[Gestures wildly at the state of the USA]
Yeah.
For the clothing thing, Isn’t the rule just that you can’t turn a flag into clothing. You’re allowed to make clothes with patterns from flags as long as the material didn’t come from a flag.
That’s correct, some still find it disrespectful though.
When it fits their narrative.

As someone from the Netherlands this is nothing new. Right wingers and anti-climate policy farmers have been using the upside down Dutch flag for a long time. Always funny when people from other countries see it:
“Why is the flag of Yugoslavia so prevalent?” Or the same thing with Schleswig-Holstein. (A German province)
Makes it easier to spot which neighbors to avoid.
Exactly. I’m reminded of that old Far Side cartoon when it comes to dipshit regalia like upside flags.
