What is the deal with the huge amounts of people with the
upside-down flags?
I changed mine on Thursday - and now I see about half of the 55,000 people here have it too.

Is this another 'I voted' thing?

Or maybe I am just a trend setter...
:P

3. Well, you are a trend setter but...
Someone made a post that said if you thought the voting process was fraudulent, make your icon the upside down flag.

4. I saw somebody else with it ...
and changed it. As the poster above said, it's the universal distress signal and it also just symbolizes the way I feel right now -- that my country is upside down!

5. Even if this election WASN'T stolen...
without auditable paper trails for ALL votes, our democracy is in distress.
