There's a contractor at the end of my street who raised various Trump flags during the Cheeto's reign of incompetence. When Biden was elected, he raised one of the classics: "Fuck Biden And Anyone Who Voted For Him." Since the flag flyer is known to be a tad paranoid, no one said anything -- but most neighbors went out of their way not to patronize his business.
But some of the whack jobs across America flew the American flag upside down, the universal distress signal adopted as a "Stop The Steal" symbol. One of those whack jobs was Samuel A. Alito Jr., in Alexandria, Va., according to photographs and interviews with neighbors. Via the New York Times:
The upside-down flag was aloft on Jan. 17, 2021, the images showed. President Donald J. Trump’s supporters, including some brandishing the same symbol, had rioted at the Capitol a little over a week before. Mr. Biden’s inauguration was three days away. Alarmed neighbors snapped photographs, some of which were recently obtained by The New York Times. Word of the flag filtered back to the court, people who worked there said in interviews.
