Inverted America flag avatar -- one more time
Some of you have seen my nagging posts about temporarily using the upside down American flag as your avatar. Our flag inverted is not a sign of disrespect. It is a signal of distress.
Over the past week, I've asked DUers to use this avatar as a symbol of protest. Yeah, I know it won't make a dent in the big scheme of things, but it's the bare minimum we can do.
There are about a quarter of a million registered DUers and some are well known people/writers who could/would mention it elsewhere. Imagine if DU displayed many thousands of inverted flag avatars on Inauguration Day. And imagine if one of Trump's evil elves heard of it. We would end up on his "enemies list." And all of us could always wear that as a badge of honor.
I miss my Eiffel Tower avatar and I will return to it. But right now, an inverted American flag avatar is appropriate. Many used it during the Bush/Cheney Iraq insanity. It might be even more appropriate now.
Please, please join in.
Dude,you and your lunatic ilk are less then nothings in the scheme of things. :lmao:

"Our flag inverted is not a sign of disrespect. "
Bull. It's just a step above urinating on it, defecating on it, or burning it, all proud liberal pastimes.
When I went to Tea Party demonstrations, I brought an American flag, and you can bet I waved it right side up. I believe our country is/ was in distress under Obama, but also believe in treating our flag with respect.

The idea of a protest is to make your thoughts (such as you are able to muster them) known to those outside your group.
Who the **** will see your avatar except DUers and our moles?

There is an idiot on a friends wall that is alt-left. He changed his avatar to the upside down flag. After getting his non-veteran ass reamed he put this up :lmao:

250,000 registered users...OK
How many of those are now deceased? Incarcerated?
How many are sock puppets? (randys1 alone has FIVE)
How many have been banished from your insufferable echo chamber?
How many are moles?
Bottom line - there's only a handful of you idiots, and you should all be institutionalized.

During the Obama years, some did the same thing on internet forums. It didn't do a thing. I always fly a flag on a very high pole outside in the front. I never considered turning it upside down (maybe for a minute). It would have been very disrespectful and upsetting to many people.
I can't believe cryano is still beating this horse. What a waste of time.
