It's no surprise that San Francisco is run by a bunch of insurrectionists.
How many of us secretly believed that the city was only barely American in the first place? There is even a Nelson DeMille book in which the ultra-conservative baddies plan on nuking San Francisco because it was full of anti-American zealots. It's hard to argue with their reasoning about S.F., but I would never endorse nuking any city, no less one as beautiful as the City by the Bay.
Still, you wouldn't expect the city fathers (mothers? Nonbinary caregivers? Degenerate lawmakers? What should I call them?) to be flying an ultra-MAGA January 6th insurrectionist flag. I would have expected a modified Cuban flag with rainbows and a keffiyeh or something.
But sure enough, until this weekend, the city was flying the "Appeal to Heaven" flag, showing their support for a violent insurrection to install Donald Trump as El Supremo Maximal Dictator Extraordinaire.

A flag that had caused zero controversy for much of its time in a San Francisco city-owned collection of historic flags, which have flown outside City Hall since the 1960s, has been quietly removed by Rec & Park staff after it has come to take on new meaning.
A flag that was one of several historic flags coopted by the Stop the Steal movement following the 2020 election — and specifically associated with a far-right segment of the Christian right — has made headlines in the last week since it was revealed that it had been flying outside the vacation home of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito. For many years, it has been one of a collection of 18 flags representing different moments in American history that have flown on flagpoles in what's known as the Pavilion of American Flags in Civic Center Plaza.

“after it has come to take on new meaning”
Sorry, Mr. Strom. The flag has NOT taken on a new meaning. It means the same thing it always did. A bunch of leftist commies got their panties in a wad over the meaning of the flag. That is far different than the flag “taking on a new meaning.”
I want one.
For anyone looking for a new flag to upset the wokesters:
Pathetic adult children.
Hey idiot! There was no coopting. Patriots have been flying that flag whenever it was called for.
Bump
Thanks!
