Agreed. I think people remember "better" times and forget (or never knew) that it was part (by design) of the cyclical money-trick-slave system the planet is stuck under for 6000+ years. My wish is that this is the last cycle.
Displaying a U.S. flag upside down is "a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property."[138] It has been used by extension to make a statement about distress in civic, political, or other areas.[139] It is most often meant as political protest, and is usually interpreted as such. The musical group Rage Against the Machine, a group known for songs expressing revolutionary political views, displayed two upside-down American flags from their amplifiers on the April 13, 1996 episode of Saturday Night Live. This was intended to indicate protest about the host, billionaire businessman Steve Forbes. The flags were ripped down by stagehands about 20 seconds before the group's performance of "Bulls on Parade". Afterward, show officials asked band members to leave the building as they were waiting in their dressing room to perform "Bullet in the Head" later in the show.[140]
Flying flags upside down has been used as a sign of protest against U.S. Presidents.[141]
In 2020, as protests spread across the U.S. demanding an end to police brutality, some U.S. citizens chose to fly their flags upside down as part of the protests.
have been for the past 2+ years
More like 60+, but yes, the last two have really sucked.
Too many on the right refuse to acknowledge things were bad before Obama.

Easier to fool someone than to convince him he's been fooled... Sam Clemens, I think.
Looks like the top grommet got ripped off.
We need a trillion dollar spending bill to replace that flag.
Looks like that to me too
"Winter knows from Yates that Irwin ultimately plans to raise the American flag upside down, signaling distress."

FYI for our younger and foreign lurkers...
The flag knows. It's signalling.
As if we didn't know.
Don’t blame this illegal immigrant responsible for it - they just didn’t know which side is the top one.
Simplest explanation usually the correct one?
Yes.

Plus, can't get the half mast thing quite right either
This would actually be "half staff," since it's on land.
A half-lowered flag on a ship is at "half mast," because ships have masts.
Sinking ship?
did a reverse image search on Yandex..couldn't find it..looks legit
edit: specified where I did reverse search
It looks like a flag that Pelosi put up after the bar had opened.
