The flag does not represent Trump, the Republicans or even the government. It represents the 13 original colonies, our struggle for independence, and all the people living in all 50 states, and anywhere it is flown. Including all of us.
I think the flag, even though it cant feel anything, should be protected.
I agree, and think we should be excused, maybe even heralded for beating the crap out of flag abusers.
Trump hates the flag burning also.
