Don't Tread on Me

Anymore, whenever I see a U.S. flag, the image is all I see. 

And I'm being nice. 

I'm really just thinking a full on swastika. That seems to be the theme. 

Those who currently fly the flag, especially on a vehicle, I'm convinced are all MAGAts. But anyone who displays one, I just automatically don't trust them. 

On one of the training routes we do, there had been one sign and one flag hanging out at the edge of their property. 

The sign: WAY TO GO BRANDON. It came down sometime after the 2024 election, or maybe the inauguration, I wasn't paying attention. 

The flag: DON'T TREAD ON ME. 

Dude (and you know it is), you live in an affluent almost all white, almost all christian neighborhood. You have at least 5 acres that are on the edge of a beautiful metropark. No one - and I mean NO ONE - is treading on you. 

Quite the opposite, I'd say. 

Yet, this is where we are. Where we have been. It's just a bit more blatant now. 

So today, ironically, is "our" day of "independence", which again - is quite the opposite of what we are experiencing. I'd take King George III at this point over our turd. 

To them I say: Fuck your fireworks. Fuck your picnics. Fuck your parades. Fuck your faux patriotism. 

Honestly, I'd almost have more respect for them if they actually admitted they were fascists. At least for once they'd be truthful. But I'm pretty convinced they don't know the meaning of the word. 

So enjoy your day off should you have it. I'll go to a race, but it's not 4th themed and that's as much 'celebrating' that I'll be doing. 

But you do you.
