Its an issue of the ideology of this administration and the abuse of the flag. The flag is a symbol of democracy and free expression. People have fought and died for the flag and the rights and freedoms it symbolizes. The administration exploits the flag, i.e., that they are right, everyone else is wrong and if you dare dissent, you are unpatriotic, a traitor. I don't think that's what the flag stands for.
I am not saying the flag represents the same ideals as the nazi symbol! Quite the opposite. Those who use fear and lies to decieve the citizens of this country to believe in a certain ideology have no right to exploit the flag that people have fought and died for.
this issue speaks to the misguided policies and ideology of this administration and continued exploitation. Its not as simple as who's wearing a pin and who isn't. Think a little deeper.
