I have never seen a cult that wanted to dress in such silly costumes.

... that the Flag Code specifically forbids her blatantly disrespectful ensemble. Hell, she probably doesn't even know that there IS a Flag Code.

31. Why do people even bother with mentioning the flag code

As if it matters? The flag code might as well be written on water. It isn't a law because it results in zero legal penalty.

It's a list of recommendations, not requirements, like 'brush your teeth every day, or 'eat your veg'. So she can violate it all she wants, and there's bloody bugger all anyone can do about it.

... should not require a "Law". But it does require an awareness, however dim, that basic standards of civic behavior should be observed regarding handling of the Flag. Those that cannot be bothered with such niceties, as well as those who dismiss the concerns of others who might make note of the coarse disregard for what the Flag is supposed to represent, must live bitter, empty lives.

But, what's even sadder is that she doesn't realize that she dressed up like a clown in support of a man who has nothing but contempt for her and all the other fools who worship him. She could drop in front of him, and he'd just walk right over her, without giving a shit about her well-being. All he cares about is popularity and money, the latter of which she doesn't have enough of to get the time of day from that sociopathic bag of shit.

but I would never consider cutting one up to make clothing, and tacky clothing, at that.

Good thing for them that flag desecration has been ruled freedom of expression.

Something desperately wrong with these MAGA supporters..This is so over- the-top, the idolization of a crass criminal and the fervor to destroy the country and themselves while taking everyone else with them.

Psychotic, like their God-King. This goes well beyond simple ignorance and/or anger.

Mass psychosis.

32. Reminds me of sports fans who take their team spirit

Waaaaaaay too seriously.

I could understand it if they dressed up like this to take the piss out of everyone, like all those SF Giants fans who gig up in weird ways for a game at whatever the name of the ball park is these days (just name it Willie Mays Park, FFS). That behaviour, I understand as something fun to do, more than being crazy fans. I mean, really, people parading about in outrageous costumes is a day ending in 'Y' in the City by the Bay, baseball season or not. That's how they roll.

This nutbar is something else entirely, and none of it good.
