Today is Flag Day. You may not know this if you are on the sunny side of 50, but it used to be a day for hanging out the old Star Spangled Banner.
But I realized that every time I see a photo of
the flag, or hear it mentioned, I wonder what fuckery the latest mob of
right-wing whackadoodles are up to. Because that’s where we are: the national
symbol has been coopted by the racist ammosexual MEAL Team 6 crowd, cosplaying
with their long rifles and grievances, engaging in metaphorical willie-waving
on behalf of an orange-sprayed conman who literally humps the flag. And it
makes me sick.
So, that’s all I got for today.
