2. F the flag waving.

Flags are rags. They always have been, always will be. They’re good for quick identification in battle, transportation, or trade, but that is all. Well before MAGAts turned the stupidest jingoism into their art form, I had distaste for flying the rag and those who insisted on habitually doing it. So nope, I’m glad to leave rag-flying to the fascists, along with the car dealers and restaurants and other businesses that plaster themselves with it as sales decor. They have brought real shame to the symbol, and its only use is to mark the slime that can’t be trusted. Real American patriots show their patriotism by who and what they fight for, not through performative nonsense.
