Barn stars have been popular in US since the 1800s. Only in your little world they mean 1980s Midwest...


Ok, grandma.

So stupid to assume this. The two homes with flags I can think of are both crunchy progressive families, including one LGBT couple

I TRY not to flinch in the same way when I see an American flag but sometimes it's hard not to. Especially when it is hanging out the side of a truck with a big dog in it.


Plus all those racist, flag-waving, pro-Brexiteer hooligans.

Well, this is really offensive. My husband is a disabled vet and has Marine Corps and American flag magnets on his car (a Subaru). He is one of the most liberal people I know, more liberal on many issues than our teenage daughters, if that tells you anything.

I don’t fly a flag, but my recently deceased elderly neighbors always did. I have no idea what their politics were, but I do know he was a WWII veteran, who I think was a prisoner of war in Bataan. I frankly didn’t care what his politics were, I just appreciated his service and sacrifice.

Yes, and that they want to separate themselves from all others.
If they loved the country and flag, they would fly it only on special days and never in the dark unless light shines on it.
Dirty and broken flag also disrespect to the flag, but who cares as long as they can show/say something else by having it out all the time.

Most people in my family fly flags at their homes. We are pretty split family across 5 states. Actually, the two closest to MAGA are the two who don’t fly a flag.

I refuse to cede that.


Who do you think is asking you to cede anything? Some of you are so adversarial, it's really sad.


I'll answer this: my white self-appointed progressive Gen X friends, who are practicing proxy offense for the downtrodden people they've never actually invited into their homes.


Do they need to invite them in their homes to be credible in your eyes ? Doubtful. Because, had that happened you'd have simply moved the goal post. Most white people ( yourself included I assume ) have personal, social and professional made up exclusively of people who look like then. Your argument isn't the clever retort you think it is .


Yes, actually. My most outraged white friends who spend the most time retweeting and posting have an almost exclusively white, rich friend group.

They do bolster their progressive image by going all in on LGBTQIA causes, so there’s that.

When trump lost, I felt like running up and down the street waving an American flag, so no.

Tons of flags, huge flags, thin blue line flags? You betcha. Probably Christian nationalists, too.

It really bugs me when people leave their flags out all night, have them dragging on the ground, or have clothing etc with a flag design. It seems very disrespectful.
