As i was bringing it in today i realized i would likely never fly it again if Trump is appointed president as he was in 2016.

We will no longer have a country to be proud of. One that represents what the flag always has.

Let the traitors unite under their confederate and Nazi flags.

I want none of it.
 
We fly the flag on days when those who fought for this country say we should. We don't fly the flag depending on who's in the WH at the moment.
We have overcome much more than some adulterous convict.
 
Funny story...
It was finally the Chicago Bears in the SuperBowl against the Colts in 2007, and my Chicago born wife Karen insisted on hoisting a Bears flag on our house in Mansfield TX and the HOA president actually tried to write us up for an inappropriate flag display...he was dead serious.
He was dead serious about a non-Dallas Cowboys flag "upsetting the other residents".

I just kept an extinguisher near the door.

Do you not understand?

If Trump is installed the country out brave soldiers fought for will have ended.

It has nothing to do with who is in the white house.
It is about not having a country to fly it for.
 
You’re saying Trump didn’t win the election in 2016? You’re an election denier?

I could never do that.
That too is for deplorables.

According to the Flag Code, flying it upside-down is how you're supposed to show objection.

Your own reference doesn’t support your false assertion.

Although flying our national flag upside down is protected free speech, nowhere in the flag code does it say “flying it upside-down is how you're supposed to show objection”.

"(a) The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property."

Trump never won the vote. He was awarded the presidency by the EC and you know this.

Irrefutably, Traitor Trump legitimately won the 2016 presidential election.

Traitor Trump was legitimately, in accordance with our Constitution, AWARDED the electoral win in ‘16 same as every one of his predecessors and his successor.

Yep, he never won.

See, we agree.
 
The American flag is a symbol of freedom and unity that represents the the history of the United States, not about who in in the Oval office or any individual person. If you are no longer proud of your country because of a person in office, then you really should rethink what America means and what the flag stands for.
 
Don't you understand ?

There will no longer be a United States.

I did not like Obie, Trump last time, Bush, Clinton Carter. I never considered taking the flag down because agree or not, they were Americans striving for American values. (Except Trump we all know now)

Try to "get it" before you vote.

Freedom under Trump, what a joke.
