This thread show cases how unprepared we really are… 🤷‍♂️🤔

My 2cents as a Canadian 🍁 Burning the American flag is not just an act of protest—it is an attack on the very symbol of the freedoms and sacrifices that define the United States. The flag represents generations of Americans who fought and died to preserve liberty, justice, and democracy. To destroy it in flames is to dishonor their sacrifice and undermine the unity it represents. Free speech is a cornerstone of democracy, but it is not absolute. Society recognizes limits when speech crosses into obscenity, incitement, or actions that endanger public safety. Similarly, flag burning should not be excused as “expression,” because it tears at the shared identity that holds the nation together. There are countless ways to express dissent—marches, debates, writing, demonstrations—without resorting to desecrating a national emblem.
