As a veteran of the US Army I am annoyed by those that fly the flag and tell me that I am a traitor because I am a Democrat. My father who served for 30 years is unsure if he should fly a flag because the people that absolutely dishonor its symbol have co opted it for their means.
I am an American that proudly served my country and I whole heartedly believe that everyone has a right to their opinion but I do not believe you have the right to disgrace our flag or claim it to be solely one the repents your vision.

It’s our lame Society right now. For some reason, the party is out there want us all to hate each other while they pull whatever they pull. I think it’s a tactic by the Democrats and Republicans to do whatever the heck they want while the constituency fight amongst each other over party lines.
I hope it ends at some point cause it’s been going on for like 10 years and I’m sick of it. I have all sides of this issue and friendship should have nothing to do a political affiliation imho.
Thank you for your service to our country and doesn’t matter whether you’re a Democrat or or a Republican you can love this country and I know you do.
Good post

I have been called any number of things just because I do not support the previous inhabitant of the White House.

You can support whoever you like that’s a beauty of being an American and a free person. Our opinions, but we need to keep them to ourselves so we don’t hurt other people.
