A flag is literally the "logo" of a country, so clearly you already understand why someone would reasonably burn a flag...

Do not reduce the flag to a mere “logo”. The soldiers that dies for it, the emigrants uprooting their life for it, and its the perfect country in most of the world’s eyes. A flags represents and is a central part of the American identity and culture.

 @CatEverlyPatriot from Pennsylvania  disagreed…3yrs3Y

Veterans might see the flag as a symbol of the freedom and rights they fought for - including the right to protest and dissent.

  @VulcanMan6  from Kansas  disagreed…3yrs3Y

I can assure you that most of the world does NOT see the US as a perfect country, nor even a mediocre country. We are objectively worse off than most other developed nations.

Engaged Domestic Policy

To be fair, not many people here see America as perfect either.

 @MAGA_Deplorable from Washington  agreed…2yrs2Y

No country can be perfect, but America got the closest any country has ever gotten before

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
