    Man I hella agree with this but…they kinda already claimed it. Since racism and nationalism go hand in hand. When you see a house with a flag, it’s always a racist old man, a truck? Racist younger old man, the super young racists tend to like blue lines or don’t tread on me’s but that’s not a hard or fast rule

      I wish our flag stood for all the things we were brainwashed to believe as kids. But it doesn’t. Around the world, it stands for brash ignorance, chauvinism, neo-imperialism, and warmongering.

      I guess it’s fitting that at home it doesn’t stand for much on its own. For sale and free use to the highest bidder and the lowest opportunist.

      I keep it in mind as a “Loudest monkeys, smallest balls” rule. Those proclaiming their allegiance to something that is not unusual (ie an American in America) are often the least loyal to it.

      That being said, I feel you. I only feel sadness when I see the American flag at this point.

      Americans may have buried the last remnants of the principles America was founded on.
