I don’t understand this weird American obsession with flag. I was looking at some photos of Trump’s rallies. Flags everywhere - on shirts, hats, glasses etc. And this bizarre cult of the flag - “it cannot touch the ground” etc.

At the end of the day the flag is just a piece of cloth. If you worship any flag or take offense to any flag, you need to get a life.

    You seem unaware you’re drunking on yourself here by parroting me.

    Zealots are the problems, not the entire population, as I’ve said.

    You’re not one of those “readers”, huh?

    Did you know that someone lapping you doesn’t mean you’re ahead of them?

    You should really try again, that was embarrassing for you.

    Real funny on this side, though.

      You are not the sharpest tool in the box, are you?

      In other nations flag cult is limited usually to the far right. Everyone else is using flags sporadically - football events for example.

      In the USA flag cult is an everyday occurrence applicable to the most of the population: flags in classrooms, on houses, everywhere. With their bizzare customs “not touching the ground” and other shit. Cult of a piece of cloth.

      Do you get it now? If not try to read again. Slowly.

        I’m so curious why you think repeating what I said and explicitly agreeing with me, makes you so “sharp”?

        You think the US is the only country that doesn’t want their flag touch the ground?

        You are comedically ignorant.

        Every time you try to make a point, you copy what I said and repeat it back to me as if I didn’t say it first.

        It’s flattering, but you are mixing up how clever you think you are with how ignorant and misguided you are.

            If you are forgetting to breathe while you’re typing and still think you’re ahead of the curve, I’ve diagnosed your problem as cerebral hypoxia.

            It would definitely explain your trouble here.

        It’s not even close to everywhere, it’s mostly sporting events and the right weirdos

        As for the flag not touching the ground: that’s flag code, military rules. Again, only the right cares

        You’re being incredibly condescending about something while knowing 0 about it
