The Flag Will Become A Symbol Of Racism, Hatred, & Misogyny Under Trump/GOP

The flag of the US will no longer be honored on the world stage after Trump becomes POTUS. He will embarrass us daily even hourly after inauguration. Already each new tweet he issues raised the level of fear and trepidation in the country and on the international scene.

He is even vowing to fight countries moving forward on climate warming. The Iran deal is likely to be scuttled. And there is a possibility that it could be bombed. As the anti immigrant phase kicks in we will become a pariah.

I am no longer around to be an American. And I could not stand for our anthem. Fortunately I do not go to events where it is played.. I don't go to sporting events.

See? Every country can install a fascistic, racist, press-hating, habitually lying, childish kleptocrat. The US is no different from any other oligarchy-ruled banana-republic.

Salute the flag while you throw garbage out the window as you drive down the road, piss in the lakes and pollute the air.
