It's Time to Take Back the Flag - The Lincoln Project



Trump and the MAGA cult have co-opted our nation’s most sacred symbol, waving our flag while spewing their hate. It’s time we raise the flag in the name of freedom and democracy again.

broadcasting in military installations for too long. Our military isn't as united as we'd hope or expect. Retired leaders are speaking out, but the rank and file are truly divided, like the rest of the country. My army officer son reports open support for trump. Soldiers are disgruntled and are told that democrats are the problem and trump will fix it. The First Amendment shouldn't protect misinformation. It's a weakness that foreign enemies are exploiting. We can't shore up our defenses without thinking outside the box here. I don't have answers but it's important we be asking the right questions. We know that lies can become so deeply ingrained that truth won't matter anymore.

For several years our flag has been used as a racist symbol by Trumpers. I am damned tired of that!
