    It's just not going to make sense to you.

    I'm not hating on the American with an American flag on their vehicle. I'm saying that it is an indicator of their politics.

    I do think it's tacky, though. As I said earlier, I stick to traditional uses of the flag. I'm more of a conservative when it comes to flag usage. I like to show it respect and treat it with kid gloves. I also fully support an American's right to burn it if they want to and I have no hard feelings over it.

    I'm sure you do see it there all the time. I hardly ever see them where I live unless I get out of the city and then I see shirts with flags on them and Trump signs everywhere.

    That went over your head. You clearly dont live around military guys because they own the market on that stuff.

    Also stereotypes. Its all stupid.

    I keep a beard and *checks notes* wear sunglasses and I left the Republican party.

    Garth Brooks looks just like that meme. No one considers him Maga.

    So, if you are a proud American and show your pride you must be MAGA?
    Three or four years ago I purchased a 25-foot flagpole and have a 4 x 6 American flag hanging from it 24/7. It started with just the solar light on top of pole to light it at night but felt it didn't light it up enough in respect for the flag so purchased another solar powered beam light that shines up on it. Is this not respectable and this display of patriotism means I'm a diehard MAGA?

    Having an American flag on your car OR... hanging in your house front porch is a sign of respect... always has been.

    You listed long beard and goatee twice. Does that mean it's the leading indicator?

    LOL.. MAGA morons confuse me with being part of their maga moron nation all the time because I wear under armor, drive an SUV, and am a religious white dude in NC. I wear a baseball cap vs mirrored glasses when I’m in the sun so that has disqualified me from being president of the NC chapter of maga morons.

    And not having a flag on your house and your car and ballcap, and on your person 24/7 doesn’t equate to hating your country.

    You're wearing their uniform. It's not surprising they confuse you for one of their own.

    My grandfather had a pole and US flag on it like many veterans do in my area. Most of them in my experience don’t have them all over their clothes or vehicles and don’t have partisan flags or logos by their flags either. But to each his own.

    Trump has the Left so twisted, they think displaying Palestinian and Ukrainian flags is patriotic, but displaying old Glory, is "jingoistic".

    The comments from the left are very telling. Clothes you wear, beard or not, sunglasses, vehicle you drive all indicators. Seems a little shallow, but then again, the left is the best at putting people in a category based on "looks" rather than content of their heart.
    You all should reread MLK's speech!!
