What people are interpreting as dire distress is not the way the flag was intended. An example would be a ship in dire distress. The flag upside down would signal that something is wrong so another ship would come to rescue.
That’s different than symbolically flying it upside down for an extended period of time. You aren’t signaling to someone to come and rescue you immediately. Your symbolically signaling our distress as a nation. It’s not the same use.
Have you fought for that flag? Are you willing to die for that flag? Some of us will, and many of us have. Unless you have, shut the fuck up about the flag.

So Trump supporters are in dire distress with threat of life and limb, so we can fly our flag upside down and not have it be disrespectful.
