The flag represents our federation: the stars represent 50 individual states with their own cultures and values, united together under one banner; the stripes represent the 13 colonies who banded together to free themselves from a tyrannical monarchy; red represents courage, white purity, and blue justice.
Reclaim the flag for those who actually respect and embody its values.
Quite literally, yes. But not everyone sees the 13 colonies as a good thing - and they have a point. Still, I think we can celebrate our shared ideals - as you said: federation, liberty, and justice for all. Not liberty for some, but libre for all. Sorry if this comes off a little hot, I do completely agree with you and I’m here for it.
