THE FLAG IS ONLY ‘COMPLICATED’ IF YOU’RE A DEMOCRAT:

“I often think, when reclaiming symbols, I think about the American flag,” Talarico said. “The American flag is such a complicated symbol for most of us. In many ways like Jesus, like the cross, it’s been co-opted and, in some ways, its true meaning has been betrayed.”
The flag stands for freedom, individual liberty, and the rule of law. All things that are antithetical to Democrats like Talarico. But they’re the very things that allow the Democrats to live well, speak freely, and get rich off the backs of their fellow Americans. It’s only been ‘co-opted’ if you don’t like those things, and Democrats do not.
Instead, Talarico wants the flag to represent his radical, anti-freedom agenda — the one that believes there are multiple genders, that God is nonbinary, that freedom of religion and speech are only for Leftists, and that we can magically control the weather if we all eat grass and tofu. He’s only proud of the flag when it represents what he likes.
Yes, it could be a far more complicated symbol:
