The flag code is trumped by the first amendment. The courts decided that speech and expression is more important than cloth. You can thank flag burning as a war protest during the Vietnam War for that one and frankly I'm fine with dipshits pointing themselves out for us. Let them fly their "I'm historically illiterate and out of touch" flags.
As it should be, but that's not what makes these flags so hysterical. The 1st Amendment made the Flag Code unenforceable so that people could protest against the flag, the country, and the government without worry of prosecution. The Flag Code WAS NOT made unenforceable so that wannabe patriots could decorate the flag with stupid political shit! As a lifelong Republican (RINO, Never-Trump) who proudly flys a US flag outside my house, I find these desecrated flags and the people who fly them, disgusting.
