What I find funniest about this picture is the guy living there probably owns that huge house, but still feels like he has 0 priviledge and his way of life is under attack.
$850,000 house.
Beautifully landscaped yard.
Probably a $65,000+ car in the garage.
A collection of rare bourbons or single-malt scotches.
"They're out to get me!"
What I have found with these middle class pro-Trumpers is that they fall into the category of that they have been made to feel that someone is going to take away their stuff (which is not happening) or they hate that people are advocating that people who work hard also deserve to live like him (which they hate, you see, no one works as hard as him {in his own deluded mind})
Dodge is one of the last automakers that still offers to stuff a massive V8 in whatever model it is that you want, whether it’s a Ram truck, Durango, Charger/Challenger etc. Those models tend to also be equipped with an obnoxiously loud exhaust, so everyone in the neighborhood knows they went with the said engine. Hence why they’re popular with the “Proudly using the gas your Prius saves” / “Fuck your feelings“ crowd.
GM and Ford have by and large replaced the V8 with turbo or hybrid V6 engines that make similar power but are more efficient.
Yeah, but how can they be expected to sleep at night when there may be a trans person that needs to use the bathroom somewhere that isn’t being actively harassed?
/s just in case
When you live your entire life in privilege, equality can feel a lot like oppression. Sadly these people let fear run their lives. Seems like quite a depressing existence
When I lived in Carolina a few years back we had a guy with the US, Confederate, Trump, Don't Tread on Me, and the Christian flag at his house. Two flagpoles and stuff hanging from the eaves. Crazy.
Yup ! We have those douchebags here on the coast of NC . They get so pissed when I remind them that this area were Union supporters ,not Confederate. Even the fort here was Union 🤣🤣
One good thing about my HOA is you’re only allowed to fly an American flag, probably to keep people from flying pride flags, but at least it I don’t have to look at Trump flags or anything like that
My in-laws have three Trump flags on the front of their house, one cop flag, one smokey the bear wearing a MAGA hat, two signs that say "In y this house we do X, Y, Z how else can we offend you / if you don't like it leave" and a Trump cardboard cutout.
On their garage they have a Trump take America back flag, on top of their garage they have a Trump liberal tears flag, in their back yard they have a Trump "law & order" flag with two clip art guns and part of the second amendment.
Their shed has 11 different Trump stickers.
They have one of those wooden shadow people lawn decorations with a MAGA hat painted on.
They have a shamrock garden decoration that says "Ireland loves Trump" (they're not even Irish fyi)
My FIL says that he's scared of political extremists and he thinks his 14 year old nephew is a political extremist.
After my FIL got his ass beat after instigating a fight last year he takes TWO guns to go check the mail, one of his guns has MAGA 24 eteched into it. His wife covers him with the rifle from the doorway.
Between the two of them the have a bunch of different Trump hats including "Veterans for Trump" and "Ultra MAGA"
Your in laws need a life.
I was going to respond that taking two guns to the mailbox while your wife covers you with a rifle is not normal behavior but **none** of what you describe is normal behavior.
Your holidays must be interesting.
Upside down flag means extreme distress to life or property. Is he in distress?
You should go check. Better yet, call the police. He may be in imminent danger
/s
Hello Police, I have a neighbor who appears to be sending signals that he is under duress, his address is XXX, please be careful he has a lot of guns so if he is in duress I have no idea what kind of weaponry the assailants must be using. Please hurry.
In the early 2000s I painted with my friends' dad, and in the 70s he was paid to raise this old veterans flag every morning when we walked to school. One day he accidentally raised it upside down and when he walked home there was a fire truck at the house. They thought it was a distress call apparently..
I bought a "Trump lost. LOL!" flag a few years ago. after I got it I just kinda looked at the unopened package and realized I had no intention of flying it because I didn't want to look like a tool who flys flags as a way to make people know what their opinions are. sort of a real life blog post.
I didn't throw it away, but I never opened it either.
>realized I had no intention of flying it because I didn't want to look like a tool who flys flags as a way to make people know what their opinions are
The other problem is a lot of those folks are unhinged, angry and violent and vandalizing an "enemy's" property is not out of the realm of their radicalized behavior. I've long ago decided that having my property/physical self damaged is just not worth the satisfaction of giving them a middle finger (as much deserved it may be).
i worked with a trumper guy. he was just awful person in every way imaginable(and still is). so for fun I bought one of those magnetic bumper stickers and put it on his truck. and the best part is, since he always backed into parking spaces, he never seen the magnet.
so for two solid weeks he drove around with a sticker on his truck that said "cowboy butts drive me nuts".
No. An upside down flag means distress. Op needs to call 911 for a welfare check or enter the home heavily armed to fight off intruders. I’m sure the neighbor will love having ha heavily armed good guy with a gun rushing into his house
Someone near me has a sign that reads TRUMP 2024: NO MORE B---S---
Except he spelled that word out.
It's one of the first things you see when you enter our town along that street.
I saw a banner across some dumpy house that had "Trump 2024 - Take Back America!"
Sadly that is what these mouth breathers want. They want to take back the country to the 1850's where whites ruled and women and PoC knew their place in the world.
We got one of these houses where they have that sign that faces the highway going through town. Obviously on the other side by the front door it's all Jesus and religion.
We have a huge FUCK BIDEN flag 4 doors down. It hangs off the end of their porch like a sun blind. It’s also on the same corner the kids use as the bus stop. Quality humans in that house.
For people who claim to be such kindly Christians, they sure do have gutter mouths. My grandmother was a very pious woman, and would chastise me for saying "damn".
My local maga-man moved his flagpole into his backyard and made it at least 5 feel taller - all so he could fly his vast assortment of swap-meet-maga-merch flags.
Kids were constantly messing with the cables when he had it out in the front yard, and he was getting into minor altercations with all the dog walkers, joggers, etc.. I live in a fairly 'liberal' hood.
There's an asshole who lives on Big Ridge in Hixson, TN, who has been flying a "F**k Biden" & Half Confederate/Half US flag since 2020.
Hundreds of people pass it daily, including many school buses. But, at least it's not a mean ole drag queen, right?
According to the U.S. Flag Code, flying the American flag upside down is only meant to be done "as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property."
Your neighbor is communicating a false message of an emergency situation, an act comparable to setting off a fire alarms under false pretenses. A local MAGA jerk in my town did this and the cops told him that he'd be arrested if he didn't take it down.
Burning the flag is constitutionally protected free speech, falsely calling out for help as if in a life threatening emergency is not.
If I ever need to call 911, I'll also ask someone to find the nearest flag and flip it upside down. Gotta cover my bases!
In all seriousness, if we had a natural disaster where emergency services were simply overwhelmed and 911 just got you a busy signal, this would be one of the few ways to call for help. Spelling out "SOS" or "HELP" on the ground is a better option, but if all you've got is a flag...
I agree that flying the flag upside down is a total douche move and deserves a swift kick to the nads in order of justice, but getting arrested? That seems extreme.
It's hard not to agree, they are getting more brazen as well. The rhetoric is just scary, and the symbolism here makes me sick. I don't really know how the legal standard of the flag code applies to civilians, but sure as hell it looks like pure treachery. I'm just glad I don't need to live next to someone this batshit crazy.
They're getting brazen because they see J6ers getting ridiculously lenient sentences, and that little punk Rittenhouse who was acquitted for his little shooting spree. All that shit has done, is give these psychos a green light to cause mayhem.
The flag code is not in any way enforceable. If some cop somewhere arrested someone for flying the flag upside down, the charge would be thrown out faster than the speed of light.
Just as you can burn the flag, you can fly it upside down per the First Amendment.
It's stupid AF for these maga idiots to fly the flag upside down, but they are free to do so.
Yelling 'fire' in a crowded theater, pulling an alarm when there is no emergency, and an ambulance with lights & siren when they aren't running a code - these are all examples of offenses that can get you arrested and or severely fined.
This guy sending out a distress call as an act of drama is no different than those above examples. But it's a more passive-aggressive douche way of doing it.
Yeah in rural Illinois, though if memory serves me right it was only one house I’ve see. That flew its flags upside down it was the USA flag and the trump flag. I remember because it was funny I would drive by and see they have a new trump flag and by the end of the week maybe two weeks it would already be falling apart in the wind. Shows how cheap they are made.
Illinois here. Outside chicago and collar counties, it’s ruby red and filled with losers (who have no problem, however, taking advantage of the legal weed and abortion access. Funny how that works.)
I remember first seeing this go viral back in the Pres Obama days.
Was only aware of it because I was in the army and social media boomer military pages would share “DO THIS RN” type shit about it.
Weird seeing it make a comeback lol
This but unironically. Just because it's rare doesn't mean it's a joke. A person flying a flag should understand the rules of the flag, and this is a pretty clear rule that he KNOWS because he's joking about it.
If someone called 911 as a joke we'd hold them accountable. This is no different, even if the method is less common. They need to learn a lesson the hard way.
Help, help, he's being oppressed.
I think it's silly not to let people fly whatever flag they want, though, unless it's a swastika or something. Let people be warned who you really are.
Soooooo oppressed. I mean, this country doesn't cater exclusively to people who look, think, and believe just like him. How much more oppressive can you get?!
His Trump stock is collapsing. Truth Social (DJT) has fallen over 50% in the last 2 weeks.
Trump is facing 88 criminal charges in 4 trials, plus possible decades of prison time.
These are tough times for the MAGA cult.
Yep. Trump could get away with constantly lying to reporters, the general population, and his cult, but he's going to get into serious legal trouble when he starts lying to shareholders. He has legal constraints now that he didn't have before. His inability to tell the truth is going to destroy him.
I can't wait to see DJT's financial filings after their 1st quarter and see how much they lie and mislead.
Generally an inverted flag means distress or a dire situation is going on. If he had the time to go out and raise his flag in that way he is fine. He is just being a primadonna. Implying that the nation is in distress. Its a common tactic of the more conspiratorial minded.
Back in the 90’s a family here in metro Detroit had put the American flag on their pole upside down. Back then they were harassed so much by it that they had to move. Nowadays these fucks wear it like a badge of honor. If you don’t like it here move to Russia
Lovely breaking of flag code. You can’t just put your flag upside down, even if as a “joke”.
This is like yelling fire in a crowded theater…
Anyhoo, seems to me your HOA just “tread” all over him. And I would remind him that everyday.
I have a neighbor who used to sport a white nationalist flag on the same street as another neighbor with a fuck Joe Biden flag. Lots of families with young kids around here too.
He’s probably flipping out about Trump’s hush money trial getting closer. I’d steer very far clear of him for a while. Tell everybody in your household to avoid him to.
I have several neighbors flying black US flags (meaning no quarter, as in they’ll kill whomever they like if SHTF) and a Trump flag or two on other houses. THAT concerns me. This, the upside down US flag and Gasden flag, it is just a cry for attention.
Ironically an upside flag is a signal for distress or call for help. But your neighbor is clearly an idiot and probably thinks it’s means his country is being lost or something.
I’d stay far away from him. Let natural selection deal with him.
He’s in duress, need a unit to kick his door down and make sure he’s not being held hostage since he doesn’t have an established sign/co-sign to get a verbal.
Does he have a spotlight on that flag? If not, that’s against the flag code if it’s left up during nighttime. That is disrespecting the flag more than athletes kneeing there, patriot.
When Biden won the election, my husband's ex-wife and current husband made a TikTok of him raising up a blacked out/greyed out American flag while she glared into the camera saying something like "we will not back down!" and I diiiiiied laughing 😆
Unfortunately there are waaay more people like them around here than normal folks, so this kind of shit is everywhere
The same people who bitch about "the high price of muh groceries", and "muh gas", but are most likely doing well financially, and aren't in that unfortunate position of having to choose between life sustaining prescription meds, and eating.
I'm a little surprised by some of the comments here. When I was younger, us punks would upend the flag to signal our distaste for what our country was doing, specifically in the Middle East. The flag represents a lot, including people who were sent to die for the greater good (WWII), but it also stands for a lot of horrors (chattel slavery, manifest destiny, Native genocide, extrajudicial actions in foreign countries to install dictators, carpet bombing of Southeast Asia arguably counting as genocide... and so on and so on). It's disingenuous to revere the flag for the "positives" but ignore all the death and destruction and horror that has been carried out in its name.
Maga WANTs to be oppressed. They don’t know what it means to be an American and cannot see the slippery slope they are adding ice to at every opportunity

Main character syndrome. "Everyone! HEY EVERYONE! Look at me!!!"
What I find funniest about this picture is the guy living there probably owns that huge house, but still feels like he has 0 priviledge and his way of life is under attack.
$850,000 house. Beautifully landscaped yard. Probably a $65,000+ car in the garage. A collection of rare bourbons or single-malt scotches. "They're out to get me!"
In his garage he has a very nice Dodge Ram Rebel and a new Ford Bronco. He also has a nice fishing boat and is a pilot.
You don’t understand his plight. If it wasn’t for Bidenomics he’d have *two* boats.
If it weren’t for all the adjustable rate loan payments and the second mortgage he could afford to put gas in his toys.
Remember kids. Boat stands for Bust Out Another Thousand
The two best days of a boat owner's life are the day he buys it and the day he sells it.
But now he might end up getting stuck with a Black copilot, you know, a _diversity_ hire 😱
Or worse... A woman.
Women and people of color in travel? Pfft, this woke shit is getting out of hand for these poor guys 😤
Wait... You don't think he could end up being stuck with a... Oh it's too horrible to even say... A Black female pilot??
Oh, c'mon guys... we all know women don't know how to fly planes. All they were designed to do was make babies and housework. /s

Charlie Kirk and his stupid yap has entered the chat.
What I have found with these middle class pro-Trumpers is that they fall into the category of that they have been made to feel that someone is going to take away their stuff (which is not happening) or they hate that people are advocating that people who work hard also deserve to live like him (which they hate, you see, no one works as hard as him {in his own deluded mind})
Well, to be fair to this guy, someone is actively working to take his stuff away. It's just not the minorities Fox is telling him are.
Of fucking *course* he has a Dodge Ram. Where I live it's pretty rural and red and the amount of Rams with Trump crap. It's kind of hilarious.
It's always the Rams, way more often than the Fords or Chevys (Chevies?). I have no idea why
Dodge is one of the last automakers that still offers to stuff a massive V8 in whatever model it is that you want, whether it’s a Ram truck, Durango, Charger/Challenger etc. Those models tend to also be equipped with an obnoxiously loud exhaust, so everyone in the neighborhood knows they went with the said engine. Hence why they’re popular with the “Proudly using the gas your Prius saves” / “Fuck your feelings“ crowd. GM and Ford have by and large replaced the V8 with turbo or hybrid V6 engines that make similar power but are more efficient.
I always thought the "Guts. Glory. Ram." commercials added to it. Plus the general "aggressive" look that they have
Maybe marketing? I have no idea. It's a fascinating phenomenon.
I really feel Dodge Trucks are the official sponsor of the MAGA cult
https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4wctSMNflH/?igsh=eDhldmRlM3VnZDM3
He's also a douche bag.
All you had to do was say pilot. They're by and large, some of the most selfish fucking assholes you'll ever have the displeasure of meeting.
Yeah, but how can they be expected to sleep at night when there may be a trans person that needs to use the bathroom somewhere that isn’t being actively harassed? /s just in case
When you live your entire life in privilege, equality can feel a lot like oppression. Sadly these people let fear run their lives. Seems like quite a depressing existence
Don’t forget about the large cash of guns and ammo.
The “You’re Not My Mom!” flag people all act that way!
He has a giant garage with a small attached house
Gigantic fucking piss baby.
Main character? Nah.. that domestic terrorist character.
Also complains that other sexual identities are “shoving it down his throat” by proudly identifying THEMselves.
I mean, we are.
Big beautiful house with a multi car garage in (I assume) a nice suburb, and bud probably pretends he's the most oppressed person in America
All correct
As the saying goes, those who have always been privileged see any kind of equality/fairness as meaning oppression for themselves.
That’s a terribly complex saying. There has to be a simpler more effective one.
When you're used to privilege, equality feels like oppression.
“They steal my taxes!!!!!! Oh my god it hurts soooo much”
Only two flags, hes not ok hes a fucking amateur. The trumper down my street has at least 20 flags. Hell, the one across the street has like 7.
“37 pieces of flair!”
"IN A ROW?!"
Try not to fly any Trump flags on your way through the parking lot!!
Hey get back here!
TGIFridays banned flair in their restaurants after that movie
That’s hilarious. I had no idea.
Like Redditors can afford TGIFridays... ;)
He is apparently satisfied with the minimum allowable flair.
When I lived in Carolina a few years back we had a guy with the US, Confederate, Trump, Don't Tread on Me, and the Christian flag at his house. Two flagpoles and stuff hanging from the eaves. Crazy.
Yup ! We have those douchebags here on the coast of NC . They get so pissed when I remind them that this area were Union supporters ,not Confederate. Even the fort here was Union 🤣🤣
I'd always see the Magats with their giant Confederate flags flying from the pickup trucks. It's like being on another planet.
They do that here, too, along with their Trump 2024 flags . I feel like I live on another planet . I will be so glad when Trump finally bites the dust
>Crazy. The guy, or the situa... no, never mind. We all know the answer.
One good thing about my HOA is you’re only allowed to fly an American flag, probably to keep people from flying pride flags, but at least it I don’t have to look at Trump flags or anything like that
I'll take it
I have my little rainbow flag in support of LGBT and it must drive these trumpers insane.
Press 1 for English. Marque el dos por espagnol.
It will never fail to astound me that the “Don’t expect handouts/everyone but me is lazy!” cohort finds it to be too much work to… press a button.
I drive by "nine Trump flags" guy's trailer several times a week.
I don’t understand people who broadcast their political party in their yard in this day and age
Oh I definitely will again, for this election
My in-laws have three Trump flags on the front of their house, one cop flag, one smokey the bear wearing a MAGA hat, two signs that say "In y this house we do X, Y, Z how else can we offend you / if you don't like it leave" and a Trump cardboard cutout.

Lolol
You live in a nicer area than me. Flags are fancy. My most attention seeking neighborhood trumper just spray paints his fence.
Upside down flag means extreme distress to life or property. Is he in distress? You should go check. Better yet, call the police. He may be in imminent danger /s
Hello Police, I have a neighbor who appears to be sending signals that he is under duress, his address is XXX, please be careful he has a lot of guns so if he is in duress I have no idea what kind of weaponry the assailants must be using. Please hurry.
There is a gun safe in the garage
I'm sure that's not the only one in the house, either.
Probably some dangerous ones in the rest of the house
In the early 2000s I painted with my friends' dad, and in the 70s he was paid to raise this old veterans flag every morning when we walked to school. One day he accidentally raised it upside down and when he walked home there was a fire truck at the house. They thought it was a distress call apparently..

Yeah, I'd love to fly a pride flag or lefty flag of some sort, but I live in Alabama, so nope.
I have a bunch of those as big ass stickers. Love it. Haha. I really want to sneak one on my Trumper brother’s truck.
i worked with a trumper guy. he was just awful person in every way imaginable(and still is). so for fun I bought one of those magnetic bumper stickers and put it on his truck. and the best part is, since he always backed into parking spaces, he never seen the magnet. so for two solid weeks he drove around with a sticker on his truck that said "cowboy butts drive me nuts".
Yeah, political flags, t-shirts or clothing, bumper stickers etc is all weird as fuck tbh. Going to rallies too.
Your neighbor is fine. He's just a drama queen.
Almost feels like OP lives next to a Snowflake.
Or the next school shooter.
To be fair, they probably won't be the school shooter, it will be someone else using their improperly stored weapons to do it.
Thanks to recent news, if it happens, he could probably serve prison time for neglect
I mean, you could always have the police do a welfare check, since that flag is claiming he's in distress. If nothing else, it'll annoy him.
No. An upside down flag means distress. Op needs to call 911 for a welfare check or enter the home heavily armed to fight off intruders. I’m sure the neighbor will love having ha heavily armed good guy with a gun rushing into his house
Someone near me has a sign that reads TRUMP 2024: NO MORE B---S--- Except he spelled that word out. It's one of the first things you see when you enter our town along that street.
And then they say seeing one drag queen is gonna scar children. Meanwhile they wave flags around with literal unbridled rage written on it.
I saw a banner across some dumpy house that had "Trump 2024 - Take Back America!" Sadly that is what these mouth breathers want. They want to take back the country to the 1850's where whites ruled and women and PoC knew their place in the world.
My cousin finally took down his DeSantis flag and replaced it with a "Fuck Biden and Fuck You for Voting for Him" flag.
>"Fuck Biden and Fuck You for Voting for Him" "You're welcome!!" Gives him a big ol' smile and bats eyelashes.
that's some Bugs Bunny type of ish... love it.
Let me have some of them family values they’re always crying about
We got one of these houses where they have that sign that faces the highway going through town. Obviously on the other side by the front door it's all Jesus and religion.
We have a huge FUCK BIDEN flag 4 doors down. It hangs off the end of their porch like a sun blind. It’s also on the same corner the kids use as the bus stop. Quality humans in that house.
For people who claim to be such kindly Christians, they sure do have gutter mouths. My grandmother was a very pious woman, and would chastise me for saying "damn".
You’re not wrong. Our little town has more churches than stoplights. There’s a lot of do as I say, not as I do.
Go erase the "No"
My local maga-man moved his flagpole into his backyard and made it at least 5 feel taller - all so he could fly his vast assortment of swap-meet-maga-merch flags. Kids were constantly messing with the cables when he had it out in the front yard, and he was getting into minor altercations with all the dog walkers, joggers, etc.. I live in a fairly 'liberal' hood.
Trump 2024: No more Butt Stuff?
You're online you can spell out Bull Shit. One down the street from me has at least 3 "FUCK BIDEN" flags.
If you spell out curse words on reddit you might go to H E double hockey stick
Some folks concept of what is and isn’t bullshit is very alien to me.
I've seen: "Trump 2024, and maybe even more!"
🤢🤮🤮
There's an asshole who lives on Big Ridge in Hixson, TN, who has been flying a "F**k Biden" & Half Confederate/Half US flag since 2020. Hundreds of people pass it daily, including many school buses. But, at least it's not a mean ole drag queen, right?

Burning the flag is constitutionally protected free speech, falsely calling out for help as if in a life threatening emergency is not.
Yeah, in the before times, I'd call the cops. MAGA has declared war, so he can call his own cops.
Depending on where this is, they would be his own cops.
So, the cops then.
Considering the cop I live across the street from and his yard "flair"... yeah definitely his cops.
If I ever need to call 911, I'll also ask someone to find the nearest flag and flip it upside down. Gotta cover my bases! In all seriousness, if we had a natural disaster where emergency services were simply overwhelmed and 911 just got you a busy signal, this would be one of the few ways to call for help. Spelling out "SOS" or "HELP" on the ground is a better option, but if all you've got is a flag...
I agree that flying the flag upside down is a total douche move and deserves a swift kick to the nads in order of justice, but getting arrested? That seems extreme.
You know what? Traitors to the country should be arrested using any means necessary. Even if it's just over a stupid flag law.
It's hard not to agree, they are getting more brazen as well. The rhetoric is just scary, and the symbolism here makes me sick. I don't really know how the legal standard of the flag code applies to civilians, but sure as hell it looks like pure treachery. I'm just glad I don't need to live next to someone this batshit crazy.
They're getting brazen because they see J6ers getting ridiculously lenient sentences, and that little punk Rittenhouse who was acquitted for his little shooting spree. All that shit has done, is give these psychos a green light to cause mayhem.
It’s how we avoid more Jan 6
He was not threatened with arrest for violation of the flag code but for falsely communicating a dire emergency.
HOA jump down your throats for the tiniest thing, I’m assuming they can make him fix the flag.
The flag code is not in any way enforceable. If some cop somewhere arrested someone for flying the flag upside down, the charge would be thrown out faster than the speed of light. Just as you can burn the flag, you can fly it upside down per the First Amendment. It's stupid AF for these maga idiots to fly the flag upside down, but they are free to do so.
Getting arrested, booked, charged, and fined $100 is the legal equivalent of getting kicked in the nads.
Yelling 'fire' in a crowded theater, pulling an alarm when there is no emergency, and an ambulance with lights & siren when they aren't running a code - these are all examples of offenses that can get you arrested and or severely fined. This guy sending out a distress call as an act of drama is no different than those above examples. But it's a more passive-aggressive douche way of doing it.
Trump criminal trial is imminent, these idiots think it’s an emergency. It’s not.
A lot of trump supporters have been flying flags upside down because they feel the nation is “falling apart” without republican leadership
This tracks! Thank you. Have you seen this elsewhere also?
Yeah in rural Illinois, though if memory serves me right it was only one house I’ve see. That flew its flags upside down it was the USA flag and the trump flag. I remember because it was funny I would drive by and see they have a new trump flag and by the end of the week maybe two weeks it would already be falling apart in the wind. Shows how cheap they are made.
What do you expect for Made in China?
Illinois here. Outside chicago and collar counties, it’s ruby red and filled with losers (who have no problem, however, taking advantage of the legal weed and abortion access. Funny how that works.)
I remember first seeing this go viral back in the Pres Obama days. Was only aware of it because I was in the army and social media boomer military pages would share “DO THIS RN” type shit about it. Weird seeing it make a comeback lol
They’re fine, they’re just morons.
Probably a swinger thing
Comment of the day
Nobody can tread on him…except the HOA. What a badass!
His flag seems a little limp if you ask me.
I like when people do this kind of stuff. It’s like a rattle snake saying “keep away from me”.
Upside down flag means distress. Better call the SWAT team in! /s
This but unironically. Just because it's rare doesn't mean it's a joke. A person flying a flag should understand the rules of the flag, and this is a pretty clear rule that he KNOWS because he's joking about it. If someone called 911 as a joke we'd hold them accountable. This is no different, even if the method is less common. They need to learn a lesson the hard way.
No, your neighbor’s brain has been destroyed by propaganda and lies.
Hahaha oh my god this has to be a DFW suburb—people buying these 500-800k houses and still being *persecuted*
Nailed it
Help, help, he's being oppressed. I think it's silly not to let people fly whatever flag they want, though, unless it's a swastika or something. Let people be warned who you really are.
Oh yeah there’s clearly an oppressed man living in that house. 🙄
Soooooo oppressed. I mean, this country doesn't cater exclusively to people who look, think, and believe just like him. How much more oppressive can you get?!
This is actually flag code for a being trouble in the fort.
That looks like Texas to me.
👍
His Trump stock is collapsing. Truth Social (DJT) has fallen over 50% in the last 2 weeks. Trump is facing 88 criminal charges in 4 trials, plus possible decades of prison time. These are tough times for the MAGA cult.

Yep. Trump could get away with constantly lying to reporters, the general population, and his cult, but he's going to get into serious legal trouble when he starts lying to shareholders. He has legal constraints now that he didn't have before. His inability to tell the truth is going to destroy him. I can't wait to see DJT's financial filings after their 1st quarter and see how much they lie and mislead.
There is nothing more maga than people living in upscale comfortable suburbs getting mad about the bs they see on Facebook
Generally an inverted flag means distress or a dire situation is going on. If he had the time to go out and raise his flag in that way he is fine. He is just being a primadonna. Implying that the nation is in distress. Its a common tactic of the more conspiratorial minded.
Back in the 90’s a family here in metro Detroit had put the American flag on their pole upside down. Back then they were harassed so much by it that they had to move. Nowadays these fucks wear it like a badge of honor. If you don’t like it here move to Russia
Probably some overweight , racist , maga cult engrained boomer cuck wanting to let you know how much he hates democracy and women.
I would call the police. He is clearly communicating that he is in extreme distress and imminent danger. He needs assistance.
He thinks the country is in distress because a democrat is president. He doesn’t know the meaning of distress.
He is flying his flag to show he's in dire distress. Better call Saul?
My military friends get enraged when they see magas flying the flag upside down.
He's a dramatic moron.
He's just a loser.
That's the symbol for distress, right? So call for the police mental health unit.
Rat him out to the HOA. 🤣 If they threaten him with a fine, his wife will make him take it down.
“The west has fallen,” he says stuffing his face with a Big Mac flipping through channels on his 80” TV while his pool gets serviced in the backyard
Lovely breaking of flag code. You can’t just put your flag upside down, even if as a “joke”. This is like yelling fire in a crowded theater… Anyhoo, seems to me your HOA just “tread” all over him. And I would remind him that everyday.
Lmao, freedom obsessed right whiner meets the HOA, resulting in a passive-aggressive tantrum.
Upside down means “distressed”. He’s not okay.
I have a neighbor who used to sport a white nationalist flag on the same street as another neighbor with a fuck Joe Biden flag. Lots of families with young kids around here too.
Luckily for me, they haven't co-opped the Jolly Roger I fly cause it's cheeky and fun. It will be a said day if they do.
I wouldn’t go on his property. Sure he’ll go to prison for killing you, but you’ll still be dead.
He’s probably flipping out about Trump’s hush money trial getting closer. I’d steer very far clear of him for a while. Tell everybody in your household to avoid him to.
Clearly having some sort of naval emergency.
No. Nice brick work though, house is kinda nice to look at.
At night he has red white and blue up lights on the bricks
Ah, the Freedom™ to waste electricity on tacky displays of compensation..."patriotism"? Not sure what I'd call that.
A tool. That person is a tool.
Yep, that works.
Someone must have stepped on his snek.
I remember seeing that the Q-anon nuts in my area started flying the flag upside down for a while after the 2020 presidential election.
It's what happens when the parents couldn't be bothered with child raising 🤭
I guess somebody trod upon his dumb ass
I have several neighbors flying black US flags (meaning no quarter, as in they’ll kill whomever they like if SHTF) and a Trump flag or two on other houses. THAT concerns me. This, the upside down US flag and Gasden flag, it is just a cry for attention.
Ironically an upside flag is a signal for distress or call for help. But your neighbor is clearly an idiot and probably thinks it’s means his country is being lost or something. I’d stay far away from him. Let natural selection deal with him.
He’s in duress, need a unit to kick his door down and make sure he’s not being held hostage since he doesn’t have an established sign/co-sign to get a verbal.
This looks like Texas… is this Texas?
Your neighbor is a drama queen.
No, that’s a Gasden flag. I’m afraid your neighbor is libertarian or libertarian-adjacent.
Does he have a spotlight on that flag? If not, that’s against the flag code if it’s left up during nighttime. That is disrespecting the flag more than athletes kneeing there, patriot.
No, he is not ok, he is an idiot.
When Biden won the election, my husband's ex-wife and current husband made a TikTok of him raising up a blacked out/greyed out American flag while she glared into the camera saying something like "we will not back down!" and I diiiiiied laughing 😆 Unfortunately there are waaay more people like them around here than normal folks, so this kind of shit is everywhere
I think he may be in a cult
No he’s a proto-domestic terrorist.
That looks like a Gadsden flag
“Me living in this large house with disposable income means America is destroyed.”
The same people who bitch about "the high price of muh groceries", and "muh gas", but are most likely doing well financially, and aren't in that unfortunate position of having to choose between life sustaining prescription meds, and eating.
Upside down flag means distress. It also means you're probably an idiot as well.
He looks really distressed in a nice house. 😂
Probably upset his boot licker blue line flag hasn't shown up yet.
I'm a little surprised by some of the comments here. When I was younger, us punks would upend the flag to signal our distaste for what our country was doing, specifically in the Middle East. The flag represents a lot, including people who were sent to die for the greater good (WWII), but it also stands for a lot of horrors (chattel slavery, manifest destiny, Native genocide, extrajudicial actions in foreign countries to install dictators, carpet bombing of Southeast Asia arguably counting as genocide... and so on and so on). It's disingenuous to revere the flag for the "positives" but ignore all the death and destruction and horror that has been carried out in its name.
Was looking for this comment. People have pretty short memories it seems.
Maga WANTs to be oppressed. They don’t know what it means to be an American and cannot see the slippery slope they are adding ice to at every opportunity
