America is the only country's flag that makes me ill when I see someone waiving it around.
Mainly cuz it's usually a bunch of dumb racist redneck assholes waiving it around.
I'm an American veteran and I've even started having that reaction over the last few years. It used to be that some Americans who were pretty established and normal, usually vets of WWII or the Korean war, would fly flags in front of their house to show national pride and that was about it. But when trump entered the stage all these wackadoodles started using the flag like some sort of dog whistle. It's really upsetting.
Even here in Canada, after our all of our stupid convoy protests and parroting of American media, the Canadian flag doesnt mean the same to me anymore.
I'm not sure if they're proud to be a welcoming, morally righteous Canadian, or if those 4 ft tall and overly sized Canadian flags hanging from the back of that jacked up truck, just underneath the "FUCK TRUDEAU" flag, could potentially mean something else
Oh, I thought the rednecks loved the flag of the losing side from a civil war fought 150 years ago?
That's kansas
I am going to try to not take that personally.
