On Thursday, U.S. Congresswoman Nancy Mace announced she will introduce a concurrent resolution to allow Charlie Kirk to lie in honor at the U.S. Capitol.
It’s because conservatives legitimately don’t actually know the difference any more. There are several people in my town who have their flags at half mast.
They think Donald Trump is a great leader, and they probably see him as a great “military officer” too.
Yes, sadly. The same people still have it at half mast, and it’s 9/12.
People around here have also never put their flags at half mast for 9/11, they actually don’t put their flags at half mast for literally anything at their houses. Post offices, schools, government buildings, and some businesses, yeah. Houses, no.
So this is extremely performative for certain conservatives.
Oh definitely! Plus, tons of people who don’t have a full-on flagpole still hang a flag outside their house at all times.
The people who live across from me put up a comically-tall flagpole after Trump won last year… the first flag on it was a Trump flag. They now have an American flag up all the time (and it’s currently at half mast).
They’re all totally bizarre. Rarely have bad Americans announced themselves so clearly, right in front of their houses.
It’s like seeing those crying people in North Korea after Kim Jong Il died, it went on for months and was so over the top theatrical. It’s how indoctrination works. The most extreme view becomes the line which if you don’t exceed excludes you from the group and makes you a target.
The thing is, he’s a nobody. But it only takes one of the cultists tearing their hair and making him out to be a martyr for the next to try to outdo it to show how even more patriotic they are, and it snowballs into this moronic shit where you get hundreds then thousands then tens of thousands then hundreds of thousands then millions of people basically canonize some random asshole.

The rules have changed.
You sure that wasn’t for 9/11?
Yes, sadly. The same people still have it at half mast, and it’s 9/12.

Wait people have full on flagpoles in front of their houses? That is not normal human behavior, I must emphasize that.

The sad part is we don’t even know anymore. It’s probably a mix of both

They’ve lost all grip on reality.
