IF this is the end of the line for President Trump. The flag goes away. A fraudulent election, bogus taxes for a military who doesn't protect the country from the biggest threat of all, a constitution that has been abandoned, and a rule of law that only applies to one side, WHY would we keep the flag?
Check your local laws. In many areas this is illegal and subject to action. It is a distress signal and may be treated as something equivalent to calling 911 for no reason. That could mean a talking to, or in an unfriendly area a fine or am example made of you where you get railroaded. Don't think they wouldn't.
No. It is not illegal to fly the American flag upside down. The United States Supreme Court ruled in 1989, Texas vs Johnson, that burning or desecration of the American flag is protected by the First Amendment.
And your case will probably be dropped if you take it to court, but I'm telling you there's local ordinances where you are likely to face a headache over it, or possible railroading.
You have more faith in the court than I do. I have no doubt they'd drag it out and make me spend thousands before dropping the case.
I dont want to get anyone in trouble or ask anyone to break the Law. Do what is legal and peaceful. If what I suggested is in question, then I advise do not risk breaking any laws.
Also, I've spoken to someone who has a great idea. He is making bumper stickers that say "TRUMP IS POTUS, JOE IS THIEF" and various other wonderful things.
He's placing them at bus stops, public places of all kinds, just north of Seattle.
:)
Civil disobedience, anyone?
The enemy must never be allowed comfort or rest. Never.
This has been suggested as a peaceful protest since the election. Wondering why the day before it happens, suddenly all these posters are warning against it.
And by code here in Virginia falsely signaling distress is punishable with finest and jail time. We never used it for a flag but we did for phoney 911 calls. You don't think that doing this puts people at risk of being persecuted? I do.
I am surrounded by commies that threatened my grandkids in our yard, threw eggs and bags of shit at my house, keyed my car and lit my hay bales on fire.
I respect what you are doing and hope you have security cameras and a pump shot gun just in case.
As for me, after 72 years in Virginia our house is up for sale and we are moving far away
It would be inappropriate for a federal building to do this as they are the message bearers of the stability of the government but for an individual, it should not be misinterpreted as anything other than SYMBOLIC. Eithe way half mast upside down its the only suggestion I can come up with on how to tell the world that you the American do not believe this was a Free, Fair, or Constitutional election and Biden is Illetigimate.
How about instead of protesting you fucking win. Do this, but only to find your neighbors and friends and take your cities and counties so they cannot corrupt another election.
I take offence to you calling me a shill. Suggesting a way to safely and peacefully protest from a distance is shilling? What defence do you have for your statement that "Shills are telling you to do this". A shill would tell you roll over and die dont do anything, perhaps you are shilling.
3rd there’s a huge influx of misinformation flooding this site and when several accounts are pushing something that is clearly incorrect that would benefit the left more than us, ESPECIALLY now that any patriot is under attack for even sneezing incorrectly, it smells like a trick.
first: defence is now concidered guilt?
second: because it should not be abused and my suggestion is not abuse if not now then WHEN?
third: if it was a trick the media would be peddling it to you? Anything you do will be attacke by the left do you thing that is an excuse for doing nothing?
Douchebag, first of all, "defence" isn't even a fucking word. Look it up. Neither is "concidered". Neither is "attacke". It's like you're retarded or something.
Not willing to deem your suggestion a worthy option. = "roll over and die".... Hilarious. Thanks for the flashback to Bluto's charge in Animal House.
Bluto: What? Over? Did you say 'over'? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!...
It ain't over now, 'cause when the goin' gets tough, the tough get goin'. Who's with me? Let's go! Come on!...

For the time we come to our nation's rescue and reclaim her from the enemy.
That's why you turn the flag upside down--it's there for when you win.
Check your local laws. In many areas this is illegal and subject to action. It is a distress signal and may be treated as something equivalent to calling 911 for no reason.

Is it illegal to hang a flag upside down?
No. It is not illegal to fly the American flag upside down. The United States Supreme Court ruled in 1989, Texas vs Johnson, that burning or desecration of the American flag is protected by the First Amendment.

Always good to suggest good things, then let people wrestle over legality, usefulness, wisdom, all that stuff.
This is how we get good ideas peer reviewed live.
Well said. And yes, insurrection is going to be how they round up a ton of us.
An upside down flag could be seen as insurrection.
Yes. Yes, it could. :)
I shall do this.

So they can more easily identify the “traitors”? No thanks
Patriots are "traitors" now???????
Yes. We are guilty of wrongthink and must be punished.
It's pretty much a crime to love the country now. I mean, honestly, they are equating love of country with inciting violence now.
This has been suggested as a peaceful protest since the election. Wondering why the day before it happens, suddenly all these posters are warning against it.
No shit, right?! Was just having the exact same thought and only seconds later arrived at your comment.
Yes, we are.
Trump-looking people are going to be harassed, arrested, rounded up, all kinds of things.
These people have 31,000 military in DC because they're scared to death. OF US.
They are cowardly and afraid, and will use all means to destroy us.
So what? Come, little communist, come.
sorry, i thought I put that in quotes . If I did this in my neighborhood then I would probably end up on an fbi list like Laura loomer recently
I couldn't bring myself to buy a flag for my new home yesterday. i had it in my hands and everything, but it didn't feel right. Made me very sad
i took mine down and folded it and stored it away. It made me sad too.
Just ordered a window decal for my both my trucks. Definitely plan on installing upside down.
Great idea, how about everyone paint a target on their back as well to make it even easier to identify themselves.
Do you think you don't already sport one?
Talk to your neighbors. They are talking about you.
Simultaneously deleting all social media accounts at noon could be a more effective demonstration.
I will NEVER disrespect the flag. Your idea is horrible
United States Flag Code §8(a) disagrees with you , fren:
The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.

Thoughtful reply, however I refuse to live my life from a place of fear. Different strokes for different folks, I suppose.

Come to the Midwest 🇺🇸
It's not disrespect. This is actually a thing you do when the nation is under siege.
It's legitimate, it's not like putting your hat on backwards to mock something.
lol. social media. fuck all that shit.
This is a nice idea. Really. However it's also a distress signal and you'd be the guy who cried wolf.
Suggest flying at half mast instead.

Then write strongly worded letters.
Symbolic faggotry never does anything.
I won't do that. I am a Texan. I WILL NO LONGER FLY THEBSTARS AND BARS. Texas flag only.

Do not do this. Shills are telling you to do this.

First your defensive response is a huge red flag. Second, no one I know of legit thinks flying the flag upside in protest is ok unless they are a leftist. Here’s a link explaining that protest is specifically not appropriate for an upside down flag https://www.collinsflags.com/blog/archives/what-does-an-upside-down-american-flag-mean

Instead of flying it upside down, why not compliment people who display their flag. That’s what I do and it generates conversation.
Douchebag, first of all, "defence" isn't even a fucking word. Look it up. Neither is "concidered". Neither is "attacke". It's like you're retarded or something.
No, it isn't, unless you're paranoid.
None of us is at his best right now.
Flying the flag upside down as a sign of distress isn't "incorrect" in a nation that is no longer a republic.
I’m not paranoid, I’m aware. If you aren’t questioning things especially while under attack in an information war, then you really need to.
I Agree with Toobin
As you are entitled to, you are welcome to roll over and die with him, while patriots discuss how to have their voices heard.
Not willing to deem your suggestion a worthy option. = "roll over and die".... Hilarious. Thanks for the flashback to Bluto's charge in Animal House.

Smells like shill
Douchebag, first of all, "defence" isn't even a fucking word. Neither is "offence". Look it up.
