No, the flag’s been so weaponized here by conservatives. My father’s a veteran and keeps his flying 24/7 for reasons similar to yours. Anyone who even thinks he might be conservative need only have a conversation with him to see otherwise. And Trump supporters approach him at their own risk. 🤨

Used to. Not anymore. Not since the flag has been co-opted by extremists and faux-patriots. Strange to say but I'm an American and want nothing to do with what the flag now symbolizes. That's their America. Not mine.

@exexec And I have respect for that. But I'm not sure the idea of a REAL American flying a flag is the takeaway any more. But good for you to raise it with the proper intentions. I think folks like you are becoming more rare so it's good to see.

@Ynotisay Flags have been useful to identify the allegiance of combatants in war, and teams in international sports. I don't think they have any other morally legitimate use.

@ffony There's truth to that.

If I had one it would be.
I'm not ashamed of my flag ,because some bad people might be using it for some bad purposes.
My father was a veteran and many of my brother-in-laws were veterans.
My nephews and nieces have served in the military.
I might not like everything that's going on in my country but I do remember what it once was and I won't be talked out of being patriotic and it doesn't make me a trump supporter, nor does it make me a hater.

@LordShadowfire they wouldn't allow me to have a say in the FLAG CODE
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@MarineBob Ah, there we are. The FLAG CODE. Which these people regularly violate. Do you support it, however?
MarineBob · 56-60, M
@LordShadowfire no go after the manufacture not the candidate. Flag Code is not law only recommendations dont approve call your congressman

Waiting to get my advisement from Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito about the proper way to hang the Red, White and Blue.
I like to follow trends!

Its Farmers' Day here in Alberta. I remember getting the day off from school as a kid because we were farm kids.

My holder thingy fell down, must get it fixed. Love it, though! I have it up inside my house.
Yet today is not considered a bank or postal holiday, while Junteenth is.

@LordShadowfire My neighbors know that I am not a Trumpist, so I am showing that you don't have to be a Republican to fly the flag.
