Along I-26 on Thursday I saw businesses & dealerships with their huge U.S. flags at half staff long after the official interval had passed.
This is in the South, so all I could think was that they were signalling, “F*** Trump and f*** all you Trump voters! I don’t f***ing care if I lose your business! I hate Trump and anyone who voted for him! P*** off, you lousy Deplorables!!”
Am I off the mark here?
“Am I off the mark here?”
I think you are over thinking it. The South can be excessive in speaking well of the most useless villains who have finally up and died, bless their hearts. It is just a thing that we do.
Also, many like the warmongering, and took, and take, any neoconartist’s cries for bloodshed as some weird ritual requirement for American strength. It’s dead wrong, but it is there.
McCain was at his best incompetent, at his worst, demonic. What I did find cheering was the signal sent by those who lowered the flags just tiny touch. Fulfills all requirements.
