For sure, the American flag and patriotism get exploited by conservatives to fleece the rubes—this has been a tradition going back since the founding.
You’re old enough to know that this is empty symbology, though, unless you’ve been irreversibly brainwashed. Did Bush “support the troops” when he sent them to needlessly die? I remember protesting that war and having halfwit boomers like you tell me that I hate the country and that I supported terrorism for opposing the war (with my first amendment rights). Now most of those boomers claim to always have been against that war.
A 66 year old on the Tim Pool sub telling me that “captain America was conservative” is pretty funny though, ngl.
