I'm not sure what your point is. I consider them both anti-American. Although my level of disgust is inherently higher with anything resembling and corrupting the American flag.

I'm not a fan of flags anyway and I look down on people who care about them.

If you think they sum up a political viewpoint, you're wrong, and it's still a sad commentary on the superficial nature of the debate we've been reduced to.

[edit] it took me three reads of your comment to realize you were basically backing what I was saying. I'm an idiot, and I'm drunk at the moment. But yeah.

Yes to your edit.

And also very much agreed on how the “alt” flags just defile the one that we’re supposed to be united under.

yeah. I'm in a weird spot in SE Portland where it's practically considered racist, fascist and pro-war to display an American flag... while 20 miles outside the City at my gfs house there's unlimited blue line flags, MAGA hats, etc which I consider deeply unAmerican and fascist.

Literally can't fly an American flag anywhere in my state without triggering a bad reaction somehow.

My family are all immigrants and extremely proud of our country and thankful for what America provided for us. Also very liberal. It's difficult to explain this to anyone who loves or hates America who isn't from an immigrant background.
