I guess people want to fly something but flying American flag is considered too rude.

For many non us people I know, flying American flag in public is no different from showing middle finger or exposing private parts.

We are also a nation of immigrants, and cultural heritage and pride is huge among those populations, which is something Wonderbreadville USA can't seem to understand, but also actively hates. My wife is 4th generation Mexican American, was born out of the Chicano movement, and they all celebrate their Mexican heritage while also being more American that the idiots screaming about white rights. No one gets pissy about a German, English/UK, French, Canadian, etc flag, but the second the flag of a brown country is flow, people lose their minds without a hint of irony.

Yeah, it’s a bummer, but displaying the American flag at this point in history is going to make people think you are racist and at least a bit stupid.

Was driving the other day and saw a big American flag in a front yard and thought “well, I guess I know what kind of folks live there…” but as I got closer I saw that the blue section, instead of stars, said FUCK TRUMP. And I was like “oh.. you got me!” 👉😎 👉
