So, I bought a house that just happens to have a flagpole. It was put in by the neighbor’s grandfather back when he owned the property like 60 years ago. I recently dug it up and painted it, replaced the hardware, etc. I’ve been flying the US flag to keep same Republican neighbor happy, but after this weekend’s events, that’s not happening any more.
So, I’ve been pondering what flag to fly instead. It doesn’t appear that my town has a flag, though my county and state do. I considered the United Federation of Planets flag, but it looks too much like the UN flag and I don’t need to hear John Birch from that same neighbor. Ditto the Earth flag.
Maybe the Jolly Roger? Anybody else have a fun flag they think I should fly instead?
My friend has a flag that says “this sucks” I might put up the “be gay do crime” goose flag.

US flag upside down?

This is the answer.

The neighbor would probably get gunnin’ if they saw that
The Esperanto flag
Rainbow, obviously. Or better yet, the rainbow above and “don’t tread on me” below.
Bowser flag by night, Mushroom Kingdom by day, as Miyamoto intended.
A lot of houses near me are flying this one:
That said, if what you fly isn’t hateful your neighbor can just deal with it. If there’s tension over you not supporting fascism then so be it.
Might make more of a statement to simply remove the US flag and have nothing there.
Replacing it with something else makes it look like you’ve chosen a cause in preference to the USA.
Removing it simply says that you are no longer showing support for the US, with no other message. Also less likely to make you a target.
your life will be much happier if you stop trying to placate people with stunted capability for empathy. nothing you do/don’t do will ever be good enough for someone that deep in the propaganda machine.
do whatever the fuck you want (as long as it doesn’t hurt others), and tell the manchile to pound sand if it triggers them
