What are your thoughts on people that fly American flag from their cars or truck beds?
Personality I find it disgraceful and performative patriotism. In my opinion these people are not patriots at all.
The United States Flag code specifically prohibits flying the flag in any way where it is likely to be damaged.
§ 8. Respect for flag
(e) The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way.
(k) 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. (Disposal of Unserviceable Flags Ceremony)
Just yesterday I was driving through town and I saw another one, flag had been ripped to shreads from the wind force while driving. Dirty, covered in dust dirt and grim.
Personality I feel doing this is disrespectful, and completely against the flag code, which is why I say its performative patriotism, but I would like to know the general thoughts on this in the conservative circle.
