  • It hasn’t been treated with respect for a while. First, the type of people to loudly fly it are usually doing so with performative patriotism. Or they’ll ignore the US Flag Code by wearing it as clothing, using it in advertisements and bedding, draped over vehicles, etc. They often fly it alongside the flag of Trump (who’s actively destroying our country with an unelected fascist), the flag of the traitors to our country (secessionist racists), the flag of supporting the successors to slave-catchers (police bullies with qualified immunity abusing the law), or even the flag of our literal enemies in the last World War (the Nazi swastika).

    What is a country beside land and words written on old paper long ago? It’s the people. Personally, I think we have a pretty great flag, but if you’re actively hurting people in the country and glad about it, you’re disrespecting this country more than anything you could do to its flag…
