Anyone going to fly their flag upside down for the next four yrs ?
Not trying to make this political , the question is
What is the correct flag etiquette in this situation ?

Makes a purely political thread and then tries to say doesn’t want it to be political. Some of you never learn, do you. Find something to do to kill time other than trolling the internet.

Even though we are disappointed in the election results---the last thing I would do ,is fly our flag upside down.So many brave people have given up their lives for our flag.Keep it flying the way it was intended to be flown. Tom

Ok, here's the legit answer, although I'm sure you already know.
Flying the American flag upside down is considered by many, including those who have served our country in uniform, to be disrespectful. The U.S. Defense Department says the flag should only be flown upside down “to convey a sign of distress or great danger.” Jan 13, 2021

Tom I just took mine down all together. Put away to hopefully be flown again.

Flying the flag shows your support and pride in America--not anything to do with who is in political office.Taking your flag down ,is the last thing I would do. Our flag represents so much. Tom

There are a couple flying upside down in my area. I find myself nodding in agreement with the sentiment when I drive by even if I wouldn't fly mine that way.

It may be time to go over--The Pledge of Allegiance. We are pledging allegiance to the flag,our country and God. So why would we want to disrespect OUR flag,Our country and Our God--by flying it upside down. Tom

BTW, the fact that my Oregon flag avatar is upside down is because I gave up trying to get it right side up. No matter how I loaded it, it flipped over upside down. I finally figured if that's what that beaver wants to do who am I to stop it?
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!
