Anyone can have secret fears, but that's not a reason to fly an American flag upside down.

@RambleOn :
and deporting Americans swept up by the gestapo and not able to say their piece that they are legal Americans, and have committed no crimes. That can happen to A-N-Y-O-N-E! My DIL is Brazilian. Her mother brought her here as a child (undocumented). She's a citizen now, has served in the Marines, but she is not safe.

Sign sign everywhere a sign. Can you imagine we can voice our opinions. We don't live with the OFF with their heads.

Not speaking for PC or PP, but did they bother me? No. Did I think they were juvenile? Yes!

@CCubs :
Not a fan of them. But all I would say is, we have first amendment rights to say things other people don't like. I see that as different than hanging the flag upside down because it's a misuse. By hanging it upside down simply to complain about Trump, it minimizes what it's really supposed to mean, which is an indication of danger to life/property. It's like the boy who cries wolf. Or a ship signaling S.O.S. just to say they don't like their captain, even though other ships think it's a sign that they're sinking when they're not. We all start ignoring these signs, and if someone ever really does need to indicate danger to life/property, they can't do it. Everyone will ignore the signs and say they're just being political. That's my beef about it.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion. My personal opinion is that you are viewing the current political mess that America is in, with blinders on.

Republicans claim to favor peaceful protests, until they don't.

Didn't understand my post, evidently. Typical.
