Is it Time to Fly our American Flags Upside Down to Express Our Concern that Our Republic is in a State of Distress??

However, it is said that; "The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property," BUT, some may interpret the above as follows; “Dire distress and extreme danger to life or property” should not be taken lightly here. These instances do not include moments of personal dissatisfaction or times of protest.
While it is legal to express yourself in whatever way you so chose, it is illegal to fly an American flag upside down unless you are in a life or death situation. People have faced legal charges for flying an American flag upside down.

Flying the flag upside down is
NOT "disrespect[ing] those who gave their lives for our liberty and freedom."
Such a crazy notion did not originate from a patriotic American?!?

Fly the flag. The Democrats look at the flag as Republican propaganda. They hate the flag.
To: Heavyrunner
What you said.
It is time to take the flags down, fold them, and put them away.

I simply won’t fly one at all.
The America I grew up in and served to defend is gone.
I don’t know what this is.

I think you are just signalling to the enemy who you are and my opinion flying the flag upside down is reserved in times of actually held captive in some very extreme circumstance or national disaster where you need immediate assistance. I think flying it in this circumstance is unwarranted at this time but that's just my opinion.
We need to let The Lord be our guide and use the wisdom he has given us.

We need a new flag for this. The Gadsen flag is over used, the Stars and Bars has been used by to many Neo Nazi groups. There is the tree of liberty flag. I would go with just a black flag or a red flag. Or maybe a tree of liberty flag with a red background. I thought that since ANTIFA is black everything, we should use black as it will confuse the swamp and they will think we are on their side.
Do not fly the US Flag upside down unless you want a visit by the local police. It is a universal symbol of distress.

They hate the flag.You said that right. Fly it. To them it is a dishrag and something to wrap themselves in when they are in power.

Forget any sort of visible signaling, IMHO.
Its time to actually take some concrete non-violent action.
STOP. FEEDING. THE. BEAST.
Don’t buy from anything Swamp - corporations, individuals, nothing.
Don’t fix their plumbing, don’t give them haircuts.
Minimize your tax burden.
Withdraw your funding of the system that has screwed us.
Withdraw your consent.
Hit them in the wallet. Let them know why.
Its past time for flag signals IMO.

Bought a Sons of Liberty flag to start flying the 20th.
That is a great idea. I'm will be doing the same.
To: frogjerk
And buy one to hide away as a reminder of what will be ‘once was’ before they replace the field of stars with a hammer and sickle.
