You might be familiar with the term “mission creep” from work. We’ve seen a lot of mission creep from the Left. For example, the Confederate flag, particularly when displayed on a pickup truck, is a sign of white supremacy. OK, we’ll take them down. But what about the Betsy Ross flag? Colin Kaepernick got Nike to pull its shoes featuring the Betsy Ross flag (which was flown at Joe Biden’s inauguration, but whatever). New York Times editorial board member Mara Gay made waves when she took a trip to Long Island and saw “dozens” of American flags, which she said was “just disturbing.” There was finally some pushback when Sen. Ted Cruz pressed FBI Director Christopher Wray on why the FBI saw Gadsden and Betsy Ross flags as “indicative of militia violent extremism.”
Terry Ann got thousands of replies when she posted that when she sees a flag on a house (and American flag, not a Pride flag), her mind doesn’t go to “patriot” but to “right-wing nationalist.”

Anyone else feel this way? Sadly, yes. Terry Ann turned off replies after her tweet took off.

Yes, there are other mentally ill people out there.

Yes. Plenty of stupid people feel this way. You're not alone. But you are irredeemably stupid.
Hope this helps!

If you think this way, see a damn therapist.

Aren't there meds for mindless paranoia?

Well, you’re a fragile nutbar.

I had family members that served and some died in service. This attitude is greatly insulting to many of us that proudly fly the flag. I suggest you reconsider your thoughts.

Congratulations. This is the most Anti-American post I’ve ever seen. I am truly at a loss for words!

Say what you will about the flag but thousands of men and women died protecting it so you would have the right to say what you just said!

If you feel this way and hate the USA this much then move to another country. It couldn’t be any more simple than that.
And don’t pretend for one second that only one side flies the American flag. Your hate is for all of the USA. So move. Problem solved.

Not me, I have a 5×8 in front of my house to honor the soldiers who died in the Vietnam War which I served in. It has a whole different meaning for me. Semper Fi

If the American flag makes you feel that way, then yes you are the baddie.

You don't have to be here. You can leave the US anytime you like.

Which flag would you like to see instead?

Whoever created this needs to get out more. Maybe they should get a passport and go travel the world. If they do, one of two things will happen; they will come to appreciate what this flag represents, or they'll find some place they do appreciate and stay there. Everyone wins.

From war-torn Yugoslavia to a thriving business and family in the United States – this country gave me a new home and hope for the future. That's why I fly 🇺🇸 to express my gratitude and love for the country that allowed me to start from scratch. Thanks for your insult.

What is wrong with you?

As we said, it’s mission creep on the part of the socialists. Make the MAGA hat the new Klan hood and the American flag the sign of a right-wing nationalist. Some Democrats are saying they need to “take back” the American flag. How did you lose it in the first place, clowns?
