When I think about the United States of America I’ve always tried to consider the Government separate from the ideals of our founding. I am always proud of our country and the promise it has. I am seldom proud of our Government and its continual assault on those five founding ideals.
Thankfully the 2016 Presidential Election provided us with a glimpse of what life can be when we are governed by someone who upholds those of ideals. And, now, we are faced with what is the most naked aggression against those ideals our nation has ever seen.
Our flag does not represent the politicians currently installed in the Government. They hate that flag and what it stands for, they hate anyone who believes in those ideals. Even those with weak beliefs, because they know under the right conditions those beliefs will grow.
A study shows a single exposure to our beautiful flag makes anyone exposed feel patriotic. Seeing the flag sways the way people vote regardless of party affiliation.
Be proud to fly your flag. Be proud of that flag. And know it drives the DS crazy to see that flag unfurled and waving in the wind!
“Just a glimpse at the American flag can sway voters, even Democrats, toward more Republican voting behavior, attitudes and beliefs, a new two-year study says.
The authors, from the University of Chicago, Cornell University and Hebrew University, say the research proves the American flag has a powerful effect on voters.
"A single exposure to an American flag resulted in a significant increase in participants' Republican voting intentions, voting behavior, political beliefs, and implicit and explicit attitudes, with some effects lasting eight months," reads the study titled, "Long-Term Effects of U.S. Flag Exposure on Republicanism."
"These results constitute the first evidence that nonconscious priming effects from exposure to a national flag can bias the citizenry toward one political party and can have considerable durability," the study says.”
You need to put I back out. Upside down.
Yup. My upright flags don't go out except on GEOTUS's birthday, but I've had an upside down flag in a street-side window since the 2020 Selection.
Why would any of you take your down? Put it out put a light on it at night, and let if fly
My Betsy Ross has been up since Nov 2020.
I took mine down as well. It will go back up after the scare event.

I was asked to take mine down from in front of my house because it was weathered, and thus disrespectful to the flag
I have it hanging high up in my backyard now, and it's still visible out in the street
