Are you the two mom family who refuses to play with next door neighbors whose children go to a Christian school? I'm pretty darn liberal, but people like you who makes assumptions based on things like the American flag are the a-holes here. If you were a friend or neighbor who asked me this question, I would slowly distance myself from you.

Stop weaponizing the American flag OP.

Also, why does someone post this same thread every six months?

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.


You just insulted millions of your own countrymen. Especially as there's a big coronation coming up. And, of course, the Scottish and Welsh nationalists.

There is a hardcore element of progressive people who openly distrust any symbols of patriotism, but at the same time they're usually the same people who gleefully fly the rainbow flag. Ironies of life.



You're my countrymen now.

We often put the flag out on holidays, and i used to think people would think we're republican.. But honestly, this is one of those things where I think we liberals nee to own that we love our country, too. You don't have to be a crazy nut to love your country or be patriotic.

You are using one scenario to argue that American Flags are racist?

What about all the men and women who died fighting so you can be an anti-American activist without being put in prison?

We hang a flag in our bethesda neighborhood. We are Dems. The only people that get offended by this are loonies and give the majority of Dems a bad name.

NP. I intend to insult them.


Really. I'm always a bit sad when I encounter such hard ideological hatred of those who have different views. One wonders what went wrong.

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


Judging from the Brexit vote statistics, plenty of non whites voted for Brexit. The most passionate and angry Remainers where white urban liberals. Who were happy to fly the EU flag.

But I'll raise you the rainbow flag-waving trans activists trying to cancel Rowling and burning Potter books.

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.


Oh good lord, who has time to take their flag up and down every evening? It's a private residence, not a military base.
