I may just go out and buy a couple. I have two holders on the front of my house, one on each end.

that had just one huge flag flying off the back end. I was getting ready to flip the driver off but realized that there were no Trump signs on the truck whatsoever, so I didn't. Couldn't just assume that it wasn't a Biden voter. (Yes, I know the US Code for proper use of our flag says no one should be flying a flag off the back of a truck.)

Sadly it got to the point that it disgusted me but then I realized that is letting the Republicans co-opt that symbol. It belongs to all Americans.

We also have a fridge magnet which has been upside down for four years now. It will get turned right side up on Jan 20th. It is small and silly but has been a constant reminder that there has been something terribly wrong in our country.
