See, this worries me, because then it's too easy for non-patriots to wear a flag as a disguise. Every member of Congress wears one of those flag pins. It needs to be like a tattoo or something. But on the back of the hand, so we can see it.
Images and symbols can be copied. That's why a shibboleth is used.
What's a concept that patriots would know well, and could answer without hesitation, that others would not? It's not a password per se, because you can ask multiple different ways, and get different responses IN EVERYDAY CONVERSATION that would not be suspect even if the person you're talking to isn't a patriot.
Ideas related to the constitution come to mind, but you can't really insert it into small talk with a stranger.
My uncle used to be a churchgoer. He stopped a little while ago but one of the things that stayed was that he has a habit of saying, "Testify" when he agrees with you. Like - the way I'll say, "Yeah. I hear you," he says "Testify". Which I always liked.
In terms of the constitution, maybe the thing that could be brought into conversation is like, the 28th Amendment. Which hasn't been written. But maybe folks can ask each other, if there WAS to be one, what should it be? It's a conversation starter. But also, it's like us. The Trump Era is a new thing in our country's history. It too hadn't been written until Trump did it. I dunno. I'm just brainstorming here.
What's required of a good shibboleth is that it doesn't take thought to answer, and in this case it also can't be taught because it's something you were raised with - common to all Americans of all ages. That's a tough one.

The fact that we're a republic is one - not a direct democracy, thank heavens. What's the point of a republic? To ensure that all voices are heard - even minority groups. It's such a basic concept that even those who didn't take civics, if patriots, will know.

Commies and antifa wouldn't be caught DEAD with a flag on their body. It's literal kryptonite to them.
They have no qualms lying to further their agenda
Yep, Taqiyya is always an option for them.
You were great in twister.
American Flag face tattoo... You gotta REALLY commit
Yeah and Viking horns?!
How about tattooing numbers on our arms? That seems like a great idea! /s
or on a forehead, so we could be denied a job or buying food.

I hear you. Ideas are welcome.
