Did you know?
It is considered a federal crime....
1. To wave a damaged American Flag.
2. To wave an American Flag at full mast in the dark of the night unless a light is shining on it (which is why it is usually a ritual to put up the flag during the morning and take it down during the evening).
Doing these things is considered unpatriotic and a federal crime. If you are a proud American, proudly wave your flag but know some of these weird rules.
But speaking of proud Americans, it has been a strange time being an American during this time. Just recently I encountered a fellow artists, and after showing them some of my political works, got into a discussion and even some disagreements (in which I hope some listening has been happening on both sides). Regardless of what we agree or disagree on, it does not make them or I any more or less American than the other, and in a way this is something I am trying to remind myself of.
In a way, I should be proud of being an American, but unlike some others, I carry the guilt and responsibility of being a citizen of a country that has a history of problems and blood debt, but rather than focusing on the negatives of the past and present, as a citizen I can only do my part. And part of that is reclaiming the red, white, and blue for everyone.

Heh, prior to the election, I saw so many people driving their trucks waving the American flag with their Trump flags.
And Talos, thank you! I have really appreciated the support of international friends with a third person’s point of view, it has been helpful to contextualize things and makes me feel that we are not alone.
