Trump again calls for flag-burning punishment: 'We'll make it constitutional'

If we respect the flag so much, then apply the same penalties to those stupid Blue Lives matter flags, the flags with Trump’s ugly face on them, or any of the other MAGA crap that desecrates the flag.

/no, this is not serious, and no, burning a flag should absolutely not be a punishable offense

It should be jailable offence to desecrate it by branding it with your shitty name in faux-gold and profiting from it when you are a treasonous fuck

people care too much about symbols

Symbols are an effective way to manipulate people emotionally. It provides people with an identity making it feel like they are fighting for their own ideals and not someone else’s.

Things that most Americans encounter:

• friends and family who’ve had abortions
• friends and family who’ve undergone fertility treatments
• housing that is too expensive

Things that very few Americans encounter

• people burning flags in the street
• fully packed Trump 2024 rallies

This guy is a fucking clown.

It's political speech. Trump wants to cancel the First Amendment.

As the planet is turning into a hostile desert, as the wealth divide is reaching new highs, as people are dying while trying to jump through hoops imposed by their health insurance to get the life saving treatment that they need, as people working 40+ hours a week can’t afford rent for themselves, let alone raise a family, as conglomerates are abusing the crap of their dominant position on the markets, as autocraties are feeling emboldened to use violence to impose their will on the free world, finally, we can count on Trump to really be connected with the people and know what their concerns really are.
