Democratic Gov. Jared Polis called the Gadsden flag ‘a proud symbol of the American revolution’ after a a Colorado student was told to remove a patch of the “Don’t Tread on Me” flag from his backpack.
No we don’t lol. The DToM flag is fine, altho admittedly right wingers and libertarians fly it without understanding it at all.
The only flags that should be banned are those of enemy powers and traitors that the right wing loves to fly, such as the Nazi flag and the Confederate flag. Those two literally serve no purpose being flown in modern America because 1 was the flag of genocide and the other the flag of traitors and slavery.
What? The Gadsden flag is, in effect, a symbol of Libertarianism.
Ignoring the fact that the 1st Ammendment would prohibit any such legislation from ever being passed, why ban hateful symbols? If the symbols are truly terrible, then the court of public opinion will handle it – the solution to bad speech is better speech.
Banning the flags of enemy powers? Wouldn’t that include the USSR?
Yea that would, and I’d be fine with that.
I’m not a ussr simp.
Based
The story is about Progressives banning Right-Wing imagery they believe promotes gun violence.
What evidence do you have that they are progressive beyond the fact that you don’t like them?
Read the article.
I’m pretty sure you didn’t, not intelligently anyway
Except “progressive” doesn’t appear anywhere in the article…
Maybe you should read the article you’re telling others to read before you say that… maybe this part of the article kinda would explain why the Gadsden flag has a bad rap today
