So why are we hearing about this now...
I flew my flag upside down for months after Jan 6. It is a symbol of distress.
It's not actually illegal in that you won't be arrested for it. It is, however, improper display of the flag, and thus disrespectful of it, to fly it upside down for any reason other than to request assistance with immediate physical danger. That means actual danger, not political disgruntlement or other forms of personal butthurt.
A lot of people, including quite a few on FR, seem to think that it's OK to disrespect the flag as long as it's done from patriotic motives. Strange logic.
If I had an American flag outside, it would be upside down as well, but for more than the stolen election.....
