Proposed law: if someone tears down the American flag and puts up another flag in its place, that person should get a free (but mandatory) one-way trip to that flag’s country
@elonmusk
I’m not saying they can’t come back, but they have to experience that country for some period of time before returning

Isn't it?
which country does the rainbow flag belong to?
Good question!!
80% agree with him and his proposal in his poll...
Try it with an LGBT or BLM flag and see if you get away with it on Free Speech grounds.
Everything has consequences, including freedom.
Seems to me sending someone to live under their choice of flags would be granting their fondest wish.
Tearing down someone’s American flag is not free speech, it’s vandalism.
pitching a tent in someone elses lawn and ruining it in the process is not free speech either!
Lawns are EXPENSIVE! and those tents ruined it
Someone else’s, you mean? Yes, that has private property implications and I would agree it’s not on...
Exactly.
I know I do.
It always annoyed me when people immigrate to this country then pull some anti-American crap like this. I wouldn’t dream of moving to another country then pulling a stunt like that there. I think Musk is grateful he was allowed to come to America and fulfill his dreams and thinks other immigrants should be grateful for that opportunity themselves.
The flag should be an exception. It doesn’t represent America’s government, or even its people. It represents a concept that is best described in the Declaration of Independence. If you don’t like that concept then you shouldn’t be allowed to even live here with the rest of us.
Probably the country they came from in the first place
Burn the fag flag and see what free speech we have.
I’m okay with this for illustrative purposes.
We’d get to send all of Congress to Ukraine.
So it’s free speech to “tear down” someone’s flag and replace it with a Hamas flag?
You are screwed in the head.
yeah i want to send those subhumans who waves ccp flags to china especially mao book carrying traitors who aren’t even chinese.
That’s not what he said.
the person did excise their ‘free speech’ already (by technicality)... so now it is time to demonstrate what we will do with that kind of free speech.
i have anger issues... i would want to cause harm to that person within legal means or illegal means without getting caught.
freedom of expression means they can desecrate a flag if they want
“someone else’s”, no, I would agree that infringes on property
Define “tear down”. Somebody else’s flag pole or my flag pole. What if I put a sports team’s flag up? Where is Molon Labe? The more Elon talks the dumber he sounds.
