Things that most Americans encounter:
- friends and family who’ve had abortions
- friends and family who’ve undergone fertility treatments
- housing that is too expensive
Things that very few Americans encounter
- people burning flags in the street
- fully packed Trump 2024 rallies
This guy is a fucking clown.
He has no clue what it takes to amend the Constitution.
As an American, if there is a law that says I am not allowed to burn a flag, I will go to the store, buy every flag available, and burn them all.
First amendment = best amendment
Because people burning flags is a common occurrence and is a big deal. /s
He’s drowning in his own bs and grasping at anything, just anything, to try to stay relevant. /not s
The US flag code literally calls for the flag to be burned when it’s no longer fit to display:
The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.
The argument I’ve heard is that The Founding Fathers could have never had any idea that people today would be so terrible.
The Founding Fathers saw statues of the King pulled down and British flags burned.
They knew all about destroying symbols and didn’t put anything about it in the Constitution for a reason.
This is a good opportunity for compromise. Let’s all agree to burn confederate flags instead.
I’m an Amendment-to-Be,
Yes, an Amendment-to-Be,
And I’m hopin’ that they’ll ratify me.
There’s a lot of flag burners
Who have got too much freedom,
I wanna make it legal
For policemen to beat 'em.
'Cos there’s limits to our liberties,
Least I hope and pray that there are,
'Cos those liberal freaks go too far.
“Why can’t we just make a law against flag burning?”
“Because that law would be unconstitutional. But if we change the Constitution—”
“Then we could make all sorts of crazy laws!”
“Now you’re catchin’ on!”
(Turns out you don’t need to change the Constitution, you just have corrupt Supreme Court Justices pull “interpretations” out of their ass.)
It should be jailable offence to desecrate it by branding it with his shitty name in faux-gold and profiting from it when he’s a treasonous fuck
Who gives a shit about this issue other than weirdos?
Plenty of normal people care about this, but they’re authoritarians if they actually support this policy.
What “normal people” care about burning a flag?
A lot of them are veterans and older immigrants
Where is your evidence for this?
So since my uncle who is a vet and because he cares about the flag he is a weirdo?
If he cares about it enough to want a law preventing people from burning it? Yes.
Who is even burning flags anyway?
The Boy Scouts burn a lot of flags.
Because that’s how you’re supposed to (reverently) dispose of one.
