“waving the bloody flag”

That phrase has it origin in post civil war politics. The original version is “wave the bloody shirt” cause someone did just that used a bloody shirt as a prop.

“Waving the bloody shirt” is sometimes necessary. If it ticks off the left [or RINOs], that’s always a good sign.
