I remember when real conservatives wanted to enforce the United States Flag Code. Which would ban this upside down nonsense. Alas, whatever happened to real conservatives?

I love this. I love that they're FLAGS! Not pins, not secretive messages in code, not hand signals for the initiated. They are flags. One of the most obvious ways to communicate your opinions and stances.

What's sad is that they're all believable..

The greatest of satire...

I honestly just don't understand what it's supposed to be. Maybe I don't understand the format after all?

I think your appeal-to-heaven flag link is maybe borked?

This is the wiki for it.
