A little suggestion for a Resistance action:

[TygrBright]

Solicit donations to buy a few thousand copies of the US Flag Code. (I believe the VFW and the American Legion have pamphlet/brochure versions available.)

Show up at MAGAt rallies and politely hand out free copies to anyone/everyone engaging in flag desecration.

Including this individual:

It's a subtle strategy, but I bet it would have some very interesting effects.

I got a certification in "Flag Etiquette" way back as a child in Campfire. I memorized Chapter 4, Title 1, Paragraph 8 of the US Code, recited it, and did a display on correct flag display.

That stuff sticks with you. It still sets my teeth on edge every time I see a tattered, dirty flag waving from a truck strut, or see some idiot in a flag garment.

We were careful, in 1976 for the Bicentennial, to ensure that our flag-themed apparel was limited to correct display references- colors, bunting-style trim, etc.

"The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing." Treat it with proper respect, do not weaponize it.

1. Good idea.

2. should see if you could get copies from the DNC, NAACP, or the ACLU on them...

otherwise they just think you are one of them...that or put it in one of the cards with a little speaker in it, that squeals like a pig when you open it.

3. The whole point is to have the VFW or American Legion logos on the brochures.

They automatically disregard/discount/deny anything that would come from a source they believe to be opposing them and thereby "unpatriotic."

Having VFW or American Legion brochures makes it harder for them to not get the point that they are desecrating the flag- an action of such manifest anti-patriotism as to render all their protestations and claims of ownership of that ground a bald-faced lie.

clarificationally,

4. I see your point, but then again you maybe underestimating their level of hypocrisy...

and as has been pointed out to me on this site, they don't get distinctions very well.

Ignorance or hypocrisy or both.
