    I’m not sure what the hostility is for. The very thing the protesters are standing up for is the correct idea of America. The flag should be for real patriots who believe in the Constitution, not Trump and his insurrectionist ilk.

      This. Exactly. Why burn the US flag and fly another nations flag when you’re supposedly ‘fighting for American democracy’? It doesn’t make sense, and the optics aren’t good.

        Oh now it’s about flag burning? You’re not sure you’ve even seen a US flag, but suddenly it’s on fire?

        Fuck the optics. Wave the flag of our allies who are under attack in this nation, and refuse any suggestion that they are our enemies. Freedom of speech is patriotic as fuck.
