the President of the United States is now flying a different flag. That's insanity. -- nm - Andie Oct 29, 12:32 1
- If Obama had done that.... -- nm - Pippy’s Brew Oct 29, 12:39
I did notice one picture with that flag in a place of prominence at one of his rallies, and meant to investigate further. - znoooooooo!!! Oct 29, 12:16
It has always been around, I think it is the Blue Lives Matters flag. Whether it has totally replaced the American flag, dunno. I haven't gone to too - crash davis Oct 29, 12:10 1
- It's also possible that after all the times Trump has publicly sexually assaulted the American Flag, it refuses to show up anymore. -- nm - pmb Oct 29, 12:32
Isn't that flag supposed to represent "The Blue Line" (i.e. Police Support)? -- nm - BloodyAxeSean, Anti-Pumpkin 🚫🎃🚫 Oct 29, 12:09 13
- The Thin Blue Line, yes. Which is a problematic enough idea on its own, but has been given extra racism being adopted by the Black Lives Don’t Matter movement -- nm* - znoooooooo!!! Oct 29, 12:13
- it's supposed to. but it's been co-opted by white nationalists. Since they can't use the COnfederate Flag anymore -- nm - Remlik Oct 29, 12:11 11
  - Welcome to the American Swastika. -- nm - pmb Oct 29, 12:30
  - good grief -- nm - mud Oct 29, 12:22
  - I've got one neighbor who used to fly the Confederate flag and one neighbor who drives Mini Coopers and just installed solar panels on his roof - crash davis Oct 29, 12:13 2
    - are they friends? -- nm - decline Oct 29, 12:14 1
      - I've never seen them interact, so not sure -- nm - crash davis Oct 29, 12:15
  - huh. That's a weird co-opting. -- nm - BloodyAxeSean, Anti-Pumpkin 🚫🎃🚫 Oct 29, 12:13 4
    - read that guy's twitter thread. It explains a lot. -- nm - Remlik Oct 29, 12:15 3
      - I just went down a rabbit hole. I knew there was some opposition to it, but ... wow, didn't realize why. - BloodyAxeSean, Anti-Pumpkin 🚫🎃🚫 Oct 29, 12:38 1
        
        yeah it's a crazy rabbit hole. -- nm - Remlik Oct 29, 13:06
      - Yup. -- nm - znoooooooo!!! Oct 29, 12:18
  - this I did not know. OUCH -- nm - PumpkinheadPete Oct 29, 12:12
