The American flag: To some it’s Old Glory. To others it’s a MAGA hat on a stick.

    I had this conversation with an American recently. They said their country had become an embarrassment and source of anger for all of his people. They were absolutely against almost everything the government had been doing for years. They still loved what it was supposed to stand for, but had no idea how to show it or even if to show it.

    Tap for spoiler

    It was a Jewish-American, they were talking about Israel.

      I want to put a flagpole in my yard to fly the American flag, but I want to fly the Ally Pride flag under it. I want it as a reminder that the flag doesn’t just represent the assholes.

      My wife won’t let me, because she thinks it will make us a target. To me, that’s the reason I want to do it.

      She hasn’t said yes yet, but I’m still working on it.
