    All these flag-huggers constantly violate flag code.

    I don’t even give a shit about flag code, but the hypocrisy annoys the fuck out of me.

      What do you mean “it’s disrespectful to hang the flag behind my pavement princess’s over-the-cab exhaust and roll coal”?

      Brother this is 'murica, it’s disrespectful not to.

      /s, of course.

      Everyone should know, US flag code is relatively new phenomenon, with the beginnings of it forming around 1942. My grandfather predated US flag code.

      Similarly, flying the flag at half-staff/mast only goes back to 1954-ish.

      Regarding the US flag & how it is presented, treated, there is a lot of customs & nuance that we’re just kind of making up as we go along. It seems as the world gets smaller, the rate of divergency & traditions is accelerating.

      Most soldiers I’ve met don’t really care about the flag code. They dislike the flag being burned but currently there’s not much we can do about that.

      I am (mostly) mindful of “flag code”, just out of my own personal respect & love for America. But it’s not law; the flag is made for Americans. Americans aren’t made for the flag, to structure our actions around what some guys said in 1942.

        It spawned out of post-WWII American nationalism, and it is being ignored by people embracing pre-WWII German nationalism.

        Nothing to see here, folks

        I realize it’s not law. But if you supposedly love the flag so much you do shit like Trump does and hug it, but ignore flag code, it’s hypocritical.

      Unless you live in the deep south where half the women support him despite how it’s essentially self-hatred.

      My parents constantly complain about how I don’t date people native to our state/general location. I think the last time I actually dated people who had roots here was 8 years ago in university prior to politics being ruined by Trump.

        In my experience–and I’m very solidly middle aged, so take that with a double handful of salt–the young women in the deep south trend fairly centrist/liberal, while the young men trend hard right. The women that tend to be Trump supporters appear to be middle aged and older, and usually don’t have any significant college education.

    It’s not always beatings. Sometimes they grab them by the pussy. That’s a decision for the man of the house to make. /s

    It’s a vicious cycle that always ends up with some sweaty dude holding a tiki torch saying “it’s not me, it’s the fault of women”

    They’re not even incels, there’s nothing involuntary about that kind of behavior, it’s just celibate.

    I mean yeah, except to fellow deluded conservatives, being a “Trump supporter” is a red flag indicating someone is very confused and/or probably an asshole.
