Is Flag Waving a tRumper Thing?

I noticed someone doing it again today as I was driving home. These guys set up beside the road or overpass and wave American flags attached to fifteen foot long poles. No other message, nothing to indicate a reason for doing it. I'm perplexed.

I'm sure some would disagree with taking the flag down, but I just had to do it.

They wave their flags, fly them from aerials,fly them from the back of pickups in an attempt to show how patriotic they are. Unfortunately, they don't understand that the constitution is written for everyone and not what they pick and choose. Every time I see one one of these idiots, I think there goes another RW asshole. Last 4th of July I even saw a pickup flying both a Confederate flag and a US flag. How in the fuck can you even justify that?
