MAGA has their own symbols now, conveniently leaving everything American without being accompanied by Trump on it bizarrely open for reclamation. One of the biggest opportunities I see for our moment is reclaiming American iconography, including the flag.
I'm about that, I think we'd all like to see our country's flag and not just think "oh look a racist"
It undoubtedly represents some horrific times in our history. But the beauty of it, imo, is that we can make it stand for anything we want. We do not have to let them define that for us, nor do we have to let the weight of the past make it unusable now. So yeah, I would very much like seeing people carry the flag, and the flag alone, alongside the protest signs.
Might actually be a good way to weed em out too. Since it's currently used as a symbol for assholery they use it as a signifier as well. Meaning you can easily put them once they inevitably start mouthing off to you about their beliefs
