Actually, two diehard liberal Democrats here in our trailer park have proudly mounted the red, white & blue outside their homes recently; I hear the flags flapping in the offshore breeze as I walk our dog. And weirdly enough, I get it. I’ve never been a flag person either way (grew up in the 60s) but the past few years I’ve gotten such a sickening feeling in my gut when I’ve seen the flag being waved or planted on clothing and for the first time I smiled, felt safe, connected when I saw it. Just like that. Something had shifted, unbidden, surprising me. That something of course was the feeling of “joy” and all that it intends that I was suddenly suffused with. Wow. What a difference a day makes.
