Never mind the speech, I am not going to miss the weird “wall of flags” thing the Trumpers do. I did not grow up with that, and it’s so demeaning to the symbol. Turns it into a prop. https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1346840894968897545
I was a Boy Scout. The absolute reverence instilled in us during the flag ceremony, the deep desire not to make a mistake, etc. I have a deep feeling of revulsion, beyond my usual cynicism, to see it used by people who honestly don’t give a shit about it.
Even flag burners are burning it *because it’s an important symbol*. Not fucking wallpaper.
