I saw a tweet by Bill Kristol a few weeks ago

I think the point bill kristol is making is that the right has always
fetishized the flag

In the 60s there were flag burnings and they made a big deal of it, trying
to pass laws against flag burning

Then in the seventies and eighties straight thru dubya it was flags on
everything, a lot of merch

Come to trump presidency and we have that sicko pretending to have sex with
the flag on stage

Now all of a sudden the very people who fetishized it are warping it
further and disrespecting it more with scotus members hanging it upside
down

So why is the rest of the right so offended that somebody else who are
republicans and pro-trump hung an upside down flag?
They don’t have a patent on it or anything.

Initially when i read Kristol’s tweet, i
thought the post meant like “SINCE heritage flew the flag, now the (rest
of) the far right is opposed to them doing it.” Meaning like “only WE, the
whackadoodles insurrectionists can do it, but nobody else”

Oops , I understand now

“I’ve been out in the kitchen watching the goldfish. They live in an old
gallon pickle jug on the red breakfast table. There is a shaded lamp beside
them that throws a soft yellow light over their movement. They dance. The
light streams on their metallic bodies. I tap the glass sometimes to see
them swerve and scutter into the weeds. They are stupid, of course, but
still I imagine that they have built an intricate religion to account for
me, for the unpredictability of the net that hauls them gasping into a dull
saucepan and leaves them flicking nervously till they are poured back into
the pickle jug, now miraculously free of slime. There may be an incantation
to solicit food, a ritual to greet the lamp in the morning and the sudden
darkness when I turn it off on my way to bed. It seems appropriate that I
should be a godhead to goldfish. They have nothing to do but conjure
reasons, and since the reasons are all outside of the jug what form could
they take but religion? I am sure they are monotheistic.”
