Flying a flag on your car is a safety hazard and should be illegal. I don't need that thing coming undone in a crash and impaling me. Thank god people where I live don't do this. Put up a flag at your house if you feel the need to be patriotic.
You don’t live on LI I assume then.
Not anymore though I do visit frequently.
It should be illegal from a safety standpoint.

It’s become a cesspool. At a recent Loud Majority rally (yesterday I think?) where Zeldin gave a speech, American flags are hanging upside down and next to Confederate flags. So all this hysteria about people being disturbed by flags is simply a distraction to the real desecration of our flag.

One doesn’t have to follow a group to be aware. I expect there would be outrage from all the flag loving posters here about the flag being displayed upside down and next to a racist symbol in front of an LI politician no less, but the photo is proudly posted on their page. Flag upside down? And right after Memorial Day? In front of a veteran? No shame, but people still engage this group of ... “patriots?”

Agree.
Plus, you just look like a dumb a$$hole driving around with 40 flags and 20 bumper stickers hanging off of your car. It's neither respectful or patriotic.

So i found out today that the Navy use to hang the american flag upside down to signify a ship in distress. So them hanging the flag upside down means a sinking America,

Since you just learned that today, you should also learn today that it’s against code and should NEVER be used as political statement:
According to Title 36 Section 176 of the U.S. flag code, the flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.

For me, this has nothing to do with Trump. This was a weird phenomenon even before Trump. Americans are weirdly obsessed with the flag. My BIL is from Ireland, born and raised and came to the US at the age of 22. He always comments on how strange it is to see people's houses and cars decked out with flags all over it.
American patriotism is a damn drug. Nowhere else do we worship cops and the military like this.

Yes. Add the pledge to that. It's really bizarre when you think about it. Teaching children to pledge to their country EVERY morning. Strange.

I don't think it's so much being the same as everywhere else. It's the vitriol for anyone who doesn't believe in saying the pledge or who doesn't want to sing the national anthem with their hand over their heart. To me, the pledge is cult like.

I was even on some virtual meetings (not for work) where someone would whip out a small flag like the kind a kid would wave at a parade and we were asked to stand up and recite the pledge.. while virtual.

You could say the same for any organized religion. I am catholic and practicing. Definitely see the cult like behavior in it. People can worship and be cult like to whatever they want as long as no one is getting hurt and doing it by their own free willl.
