The Top 11 Flags You Should Fly To Trigger Communist Enemies Of The People

The same people mocking ‘An Appeal to Heaven’ flag will never be satisfied so long as you view God and country as our Founding Fathers did.

Corporate media recently took old smears about a Revolutionary War-era flag and applied them to Justice Samuel Alito after his wife allegedly displayed the “provocative” symbol in front of his home.

The meaning behind the “An Appeal To Heaven” flag, a pine-tree-adorned symbol used by squadrons of the Continental Navy during the Revolutionary War, is rather innocuous. George Washington’s secretary Col. Joseph Reed created the flag in 1775 to publicly display “an appeal to God to save the colonists from the King’s oppressive ruling.”

The same outlets fomenting fake scandal about the alleged Alito flag have never taken issue with any Americans displaying Black Lives Matter, Ukraine, pro-terrorist, and rainbow flags, despite their connections to anti-American agitation. The New York Times, however, suggested the historic “An Appeal To Heaven” flag was associated with a “push for a more Christian-minded government.”

Here are 11 flags you should fly to not only show your loyalty to God and country but also your disdain for the top enemy of the people that is constantly looking for ways to smear Americans who love their original flag and the Constitution it stands for.

What, no Confederate flag?

[Maximus]

so its just a coincidence that a dude who appears hyper partisan in every interview and is slated to try and make trump immune to anything he does in office is definitely unaware that flying a flag in distress at the exact same time as an attempted coup has any significance whatsoever and the dude who voted for the election to be overturned is definitely not involved in efforts to ovrturn the election.

Oh, the Federalist Society said it, so it must be true. They are the same outfit who have pushed radical right wing judges and politicians.

They are the architects of project 2025, which is awful.

I love election years. This one is going to be lit. Like all time unhinged, even more unhinged than 2020.

Oh yeah… especially with Trump and Hunter Biden in court. My prediction is Trump will be acquitted in NY and the Dems will lose their minds. Hunter will be found guilty of the gun charges but Grandpa Joe will pardon him and GOP’ers will lose their minds. And Bobby Jr will get 20 percent of the vote even with worm holes in his brain.

This will be historic. We live in the dumbest of times. And the democrats are showing that they are capable of being every bit as stupid as republicans/maga.

They really haven't. MAGA is in its own galaxy of idiocy. That group doesn't any peer.

I don't think the Dems are as crazy/conspiratorial as the MAGA Republicans, but they are governing terribly and pandering to an unpopular portion of their base.

I used to really like elections and the drama and excitement of what the outcome would be.

It has really lost its appeal to me since it has turned into a “race to the bottom,” to borrow an economic phrase.

You (and others) have been claiming that it is clearly associated with January 6 and the Stop the Steal movement. Well, if that is in fact the case, Google should be swamped with search results after Jan 6 and prior to the Alito case associating an upside down flag with Stop the Steal, January 6, etc. Here is a google search customized to show results from Jan 1, 2020 to May 1, 2024

https://www.google.com/search?q=%22u...2024&tbm=#ip=1

Take a look at the results. It is nothing like what you are claiming. In fact, if anything there are more hits for articles about people flying upside down flags in protest of the Dobbs ruling overturning Roe v Wade:

How flying the flag is a BIPATISAN act of rebellion:

It is - and always has been - a sign of protest or distress used by both liberals and conservatives. The idea that after Jan 6 it was universally understood as supporting the insurrection is pure fiction. It is remarkable how this narrative has been swallowed whole by so many people without any critical thought or investigation.

Dude, just because your life experience and a cursory google search don't provide with enough clarity to believe the concerns are legitimate doesn't mean they aren't. I love you man, but don't insinuate not agreeing with you means a lack of ability to critically think. That's unfair and unkind.

I think your minds made up that it's silly and aren't open to altering that perspective.

One key difference is your willingness to give Alito the benefit of the doubt. I don't have that.

I find pictures or republicans flying the pride flag but that doesn't mean the symbol isn't primarily associated with progressives.

I never said the distress flag was only used by right wing types. This was not new to me. Militia types, preppers, faccists etc have displayed the flag that way going back at least a few decades.



Think tax protestors, Randy Weaver, think Montana Freeman and Tim McVeigh.



I've probably had a lot more encounters with extremist type than you have. Nothing to brag about or be ashamed of. That's partially informed by the populations I've worked with professionally, as well past activism and hanging in the Bay Area punk rock seen.




It surprises me that this concern is so controversial. Alito wasn't flying the upside down flag for anything left wing reason.
