I don’t understand this weird American obsession with flag. I was looking at some photos of Trump’s rallies. Flags everywhere - on shirts, hats, glasses etc. And this bizarre cult of the flag - “it cannot touch the ground” etc.

At the end of the day the flag is just a piece of cloth. If you worship any flag or take offense to any flag, you need to get a life.

    Unless youve never noticed, America has a huge Nationalism problem and always has. Drive through any subdivision and you’ll see flags on many houses. Go to a sporting event and you’ll see the National Guard in some capacity. America has always been a nation that skirts the edges of Fascism just waiting to be led there.

      Oh, just wait until after November. We won’t be skirting facism anymore. We’re diving in the deep end.
