What is it the late 90s again? We’re being inundated with this bullshit?
So, as far as I can see, the only Bill of Right Trump hasn’t flat out, explicitly decided he can over turn by presidential decree is the third? Has anyone asked him if it would be okay to quarter troops on the population yet?
I think that actually came up during his presidency to a degree: https://www.businessinsider.com/third-amendment-new-relevant-thanks-to-trump-military-us-cities-2020-6
It should be jailable offence to desecrate it by branding it with his shitty name in faux-gold and profiting from it when he’s a treasonous fuck
Because people burning flags is a common occurrence and is a big deal. /s
He’s drowning in his own bs and grasping at anything, just anything, to try to stay relevant. /not s
It actually is a common occurrence, since the U.S. Flag Code specifies that burning is the preferred method of disposing of flags that are no longer fit to display.
It’s dumber than that.
Flag burning was a big deal in the 60s. I remember calls for a Constitutional amendment gaining traction back in the 90s (maybe 80s?). The controversy was all over the news for some time and the right considered your take on it to be the litmus test of “true American.”
Trump’s reaching decades into the past, for what it currently a non-issue. It’s not desperation, it’s senility.
Based on this logic I guess we should see Harris campaigning on ERA any day now…

Gonna get carpal tunnel pandering this hard, Donny
naw. the people he’s dictating to are gonna get carpel tunnel.
which is a shame because they’ve got to be pretty good at taking dictations to keep up with his shit.
After long enough, stroking anything is gonna give you carpal tunnel. Ego and conservative ideals included.
MAGA is more about mental gymnastics than dictations, to be fair.
But y’all are probably right on both points. Have you seen how much Trump posts on Truth Social? He’s probably had Carpel Tunnel for YEARS!
Who gives a shit about this issue other than weirdos?
Plenty of normal people care about this, but they’re authoritarians if they actually support this policy.
What “normal people” care about burning a flag?
A lot of them are veterans and older immigrants
Where is your evidence for this?
Completely anecdotal, to be fair. I’ve seen some videos of veterans as well as first generation immigrants complaining about the desecration of the flag.
Then I stand by my position that the people who give a shit about this are weirdos. Because, believe it or not, being a veteran or an immigrant doesn’t shield you from being a weirdo.
So since my uncle who is a vet and because he cares about the flag he is a weirdo?
If he cares about it enough to want a law preventing people from burning it? Yes.
He has no clue what it takes to amend the Constitution.
people care too much about symbols
Symbols are an effective way to manipulate people emotionally. It provides people with an identity making it feel like they are fighting for their own ideals and not someone else’s.
It’s political speech. Trump wants to cancel the First Amendment.
As an American, if there is a law that says I am not allowed to burn a flag, I will go to the store, buy every flag available, and burn them all.
First amendment = best amendment
Who is even burning flags anyway?
Pro Palestinians/Hamas supporters do it occasionally, but you make a good point, it doesn’t happen all that often
The Boy Scouts burn a lot of flags.
Because that’s how you’re supposed to (reverently) dispose of one.
First ammendment? Never heard of it.
*ammmendment

As the planet is turning into a hostile desert, as the wealth divide is reaching new highs, as people are dying while trying to jump through hoops imposed by their health insurance to get the life saving treatment that they need, as people working 40+ hours a week can’t afford rent for themselves, let alone raise a family, as conglomerates are abusing the crap of their dominant position on the markets, as autocraties are feeling emboldened to use violence to impose their will on the free world, finally, we can count on Trump to really be connected with the people and know what their concerns really are.
Things that most Americans encounter:
- friends and family who’ve had abortions
- friends and family who’ve undergone fertility treatments
- housing that is too expensive
Things that very few Americans encounter
- people burning flags in the street
- fully packed Trump 2024 rallies
This guy is a fucking clown.
