Sad it's coming to this, but the flag pin was at one point or another leading to this kind of stuff. I wish this would have just led to bigger and bigger pins to show that people are more patriotic than their opponent.

Nationalism leads to cult of personality. Cult of personality leads to... ah shit I can't remember. Fashion I think?

Even as a kid I hated nationalism

To me I only saw it as a blind following. My parents disagreed of course

Now I'm older and I realize my parents are idiots when it comes to this and low key Trump supporters

The rise of conspicuous nationalism - and I’m intentionally calling it nationalism, not patriotism - in the US had been a disgusting thing to witness over the last 2.5 decades, as a resident.

Well it was already pretty bad when the U.S. flag became a co-opted symbol for hate.
