‘We’re in trouble’: American flags intentionally flown upside down in Bakersfield on Fourth of July
Part of the event flyer read: "We, the people of Kern County, intend to make a statement that we are tired of seeing the weaponization of government agencies that politicians have at their disposal. The United States was not designed with two tiers of justice."
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — This Fourth of July, American flags were intentionally flown upside down at Polo Park in the northwest side of Bakersfield.
An upside down flag is traditionally a sign of distress; and more recently, a display of the belief the 2020 presidential election was stolen.
Following former President Donald Trump’s felony conviction, supporters also displayed upside-down flags online.
Excessive heat, national drama doesn’t keep celebrants away from Westchester’s annual July 4 parade
Organizers said out of respect, they’re flying their tallest flag in the upright position. But after all, an inverted flag is often considered a form of far-right protest.
“Is there a right way?” asked KNZR conservative radio host Terry Maxwell. “There’s only a way, and the only way that you get people to understand and take notice is to do something out of the ordinary. This is out of the ordinary.”
And here I thought those in California were all democrats who were in love with Biden
Go figure.
