When this is over we all need to fly American flags

I noticed in myself that I have begun to detest when I see American flags. Subconsciously, I have begun to associate it with Republicans. Fuck that! We need to take the flag back from them and attribute it where it belongs! We should take advantage of the moment and do it now.

away from the REAL Americans is beyond me...except it's a symbol that even the dumbest of them can recognize to get behind. The fact that they're too dumb to know what it actually stands for is unfortunate. And for them, any old flag will do: the nazi flag, the confederate flag, and the new blue, white, and what looks like gray flag (WTF is THAT all about, anyway)?

Once Biden is confirmed at 270, I may do, too!

Added side benefit: poke in the eye to all my trump neighbors.

BTW: my campaign signs are staying up till Biden is confirmed at 270, as well!

election it got (to keep his pro-Biden neighbor across the street in check). The problem is that this guy is a recruiter for the National Guard. As of yesterday or the day before, all his pro-tRump crap is completely gone. What's the matter, guy? Can't you wait until your Orange savior exhausts all his legal challenges? Are you that embarrassed you supported him now with the way he's acting?

This is the flag of the United States of America. It does not belong to the Deplorables.
