Waiving the Flag




This week's cartoon isn't about any particular Condo Owners' Association out there; I'm mixing together a couple items which may or may not have come into conflict somewhere.

It seems as if there is some Condo or Home Owners' Association every year that objects to a resident hoisting a rainbow flag; there was just such a story in my hometown this past spring. Told that they couldn't fly the rainbow flag that they had flown for the past five Pride Months, Memo Fachino and Lance Meir lit rainbow floodlights instead.


Nothing in the HOA rules against it.

Meanwhile, although some of you securely ensconced in our larger urban settlements may never have seen this, there are some areas in this country where you can see a lot of flagpoles sporting Trump 2020 flags — even now. My better half and I didn't have to drive through Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia to see them (which we just did a couple weeks ago); we can drive through any rural area in any direction from home to find them.

Not only are there no Biden 2020 flags waving in the breeze these days, I don't recall ever seeing one anywhere last year. Lawn signs, yes, but not flags. And the Biden lawn signs were put away before the snow fell last year. Even at that one house I pass every day on my way to work, where someone was keeping a Bernie for President sign out front ever since the 2016 Wisconsin primary, the Bro has finally taken it down.

But those Trump flags keep flapping in the breeze. Those Trump cultists worship a tremendously needy god. He desperately craves their adoration and validation. And they are happy to give it to him.

Which is why there's going to be a recount in Texas. Just to give him a Win.
