I don’t understand this weird American obsession with flag. I was looking at some photos of Trump’s rallies. Flags everywhere - on shirts, hats, glasses etc. And this bizarre cult of the flag - “it cannot touch the ground” etc.

At the end of the day the flag is just a piece of cloth. If you worship any flag or take offense to any flag, you need to get a life.

    Whats funny is the flag fanatics are disrespecting it from a historical perspective. Paper plates and napkins dirtied up and tossed. Crumpled up tshirts tossed into bins or crumpled up on a floor.

      All of which is against the flag code too, but while they’ll attack you for letting it touch the ground they’ll lose it if you can them out for their flag trunks cause laws end when their convenience and desires begin.

      I’ve seen American flag diapers. These flag-worshipers wouldn’t even hesitate to let their kid shit in a flag diaper. It makes no sense.
