Because they didn’t have razor wire and chain link fence in 1776.

    You swap the blue in that flag for red and it’s “pro firefighters”. Green is “first responders/EMT”. Pretty sure I’ve seen a thin grey line as well, but I’m not sure of the origins.

      Oh ok, I think I’ve seen those too.

      Fwiw I don’t really see these widespread where I am, in Ohio. Except for the many bootlickers that fly the thin blue line one, the others are relatively rare in my experience.

      So they aren’t that trendy at least. Not nearly as much as slapping the American flag on some other symbol like the punisher skull.

        No other country that I know of has as great a flag fetish as the USA, except maybe their illegitimate hellspawn the Zionist entity.
