Americans have begun to fly their American flags upside down

[my2¢]

Biden is doing a great job of bringing the races together. For sure those responsible can now somewhat relate to Colin Kaepernick.

I pay the same taxes, bitch. If you don't make enough money, how is that my fucking problem, bitch?

Stick your complaints up your ass.

I thought you guys were for higher taxes?

You pay the same? Why not pay more?

"How many of you who sit and judge me ever walked the streets of Bakersfield"....Buck Owens & Dwight Yokem. A rural desert area in the people's republic of California does not represent the United States. Despite Yahoo's claim I have never seen Old Glory flown upside down except in staged political events.

I have walked the streets of Bakersfield, therefore I'm not surprised.

 

[Anathema]

Well, that's a shame

No. It’s reality, pure and simple.

 

[Anathema]

Real critical thinker here

Nope. Then again you don’t need to be when you were taught Rightt and Wrong since you were old enough to understand discipline.

You're so edgy.

Nope. Then again you don’t need to be when you were taught Rightt and Wrong since you were old enough to understand discipline.

So reality doesn't live up to your rigid standards, and you rage about it. Wow. Never heard that before.

Reality, like Life, sucks. It isn’t fair. Never has been and never will be. It was never intended to be. It’s a test to see whether or not we can live our lives properly, regardless of how much is stacked against us.

‘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."

www.yahoo.com

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.

.

Yep.

"Far-right protest"? That's funny.

And? I do not see anyone telling him he was not allowed to do it, they just complained about it.

I never said anyone did tell him he wasn't allowed to do it. That was lame

It's purely symbolic. But as for an SOS or plea for help, nobody's going to come to the aid of the US. The whole world is either on fire or falling apart, we're we're pretty much on our own.

The world is fine, but they have no desire to come to our aide, nor should they. After a century of being the big bully on the block imposing or will and views upon the world, most of the world is more than happy to see the US knocked down a peg or two.

Yet, I asked you to link to someone saying that people could not do this.

So, you failed.

At least you are consistent.

You're splitting hairs trying to save face. Go bother someone else

I quit flying the flag right after the 2020 election. My wife bought one of those "Appeal to Heaven" flags for the flagpole, but it has long since worn out.

The 'Appeal to Heaven' flag evolves from Revolutionary War symbol to banner of the far right

.

I need to figure out how to keep a flag flying in the fierce winds we have here in SE South Dakota. I keep losing them and it's getting expensive, because I fly expensive, American-made flags.

Foiled again.

Let them enjoy that for the last remaining months the Biden presidency.

Nothing will change when if Trump wins, we were sliding down before Trump and Trump just pushed us down a little faster with his isolationist policies.

Most of the world pre-paring for a post-US dominated world.

You would do well to do the same.
