Are Republicans serious with this upside down flag stuff?

[Huey Grey]

You spent literal years bitching about people like Kap kneeling. Claiming it was sickeningly disrespectful to the flag. Then you turn right around and flip the flag upside down because you don't want to admit that Trump is a garbage felon? Damn, Rs, I mean damn.

 

[Aardvark86]

Meh. People exaggerate the symbolic meaning of things from the original meaning all the time. Like, say, the rainbow.

Saw one on a truck in Asheville this weekend. With lots of Trump stickers.

Aardvark, one would think a lawyer might be a bit smarter than the bullshit answer you give here. There’s a lot of shit I’d like to do at times, but my common sense and understanding of things prevents me from doing so. Too bad a phuquing SC justice isn’t as snart as an old retired liberal like me.

No shit

In all fairness OP, during Trumps presidency, I saw a flag just north of Waterloo flying upside down, so it’s not just MAGATS doing it.

Was it at the home of a Supreme Court justice?

You're about as good at getting the point as CC's teammates are at getting her assists.

Silly lib. It's ok for white people to do these things.

It was nice how they made it about the flag so they could conveniently ignore why he was kneeling. A very white thing to do.

Ultimately, Donald Trump has debased the office of the presidency. The Republican Party and the corporate news media enable him. To a large extent, the United States has been made a mockery before the world in less than six months of the Trump presidency.

The United States is a country that is truly in distress. I offer the following proposal. On this first Independence Day under President Trump, people of conscience and true patriots should fly the American flag upside down, as a collective signal of our national distress.

Only took 7 years and 34 counts for that to catch on. SMFH

If Trump wins the next election we can all fly our flags upside down. This'll all work out in the end, you'll see

Non stop hypocrisy and they can’t even see it.

 

[Huey Grey]

They see it. They don't care. It's like Lock Her Up. They'll flip instantly when it becomes convenient. We're so screwed with all these traitor racists running around. Even when Trump croaks in prison they'll still be trying to turn America into a white nationalist state.

 

[InsaneHawkJJP]

You f...... don't get it.

I do, OP is saying how hypocritical it is. I was just other siding it, so maybe it’s you who doesn’t get it. You know, sarcasm.

 

[IANDFAN]

Who is flying flags upside down?

My neighbor was. Big Trump supporter. My other neighbor, a Vietnam Vet took it down, folded it and set it on her bench.

So like Trump you didn't mean it?

 

[Pinehawk]

What if we just have someone kneel while holding an upside flag? Could everyone agree on that?

 

[InsaneHawkJJP]

I meant the sarcasm.

They see it. They just view it as clever for some reason.

It’s the same group that cheered as the Us flag was replaced with Trump flags Jan 6th. Or talk about what a hell hole our country is. Faux Patriotism is their basic amino acid

So which federal democratic politician or high court Justice followed suit.

Heck I will even let you go with federal appeals court justices.

So you can pick from any dem house member, any dem senator, any dem federal Supreme Court or federal appeals court Justice, the president, vice president, or any member of the cabinet.

Randos and opinion writers say a lot of shit. What are the people in charge doing?

Comparing flying our US flag upside down to a ****ing rainbow colors flag might be an all time false equivalency. Just classic!!!

The rainbow has been around as a symbol as an awfully long time. It’s modern expropriated meaning is…narrower if in the same genre.

I was going to say that is what an upside down flag means. Should call 911 and have emergency services sent to every home with a flag upside down. Along with a bill for having emergency services sent to their home because they falsely declared an emergency.

“I don’t like how this person uses their freedom of expression. Fine them!”

You sound like the idiots who want to punish Kap or flag burners, question is whether or not you will ever realize it.

And what does USC say about kneeling for the national anthem?

 

[KFsdisciple]

I do not support people flying the flag upside down because dear leader broke the law and now has to pay for it. I would tell anyone I saw as a veteran how offensive it is. The nation is NOT under duress because Donald Trump is a criminal.

STOP IT.
