It hasn't been treated with respect for a while. First, the type of people to loudly fly it are usually doing so with performative patriotism. Or they'll ignore the US Flag Code by wearing it as clothing, using it in advertisements and bedding, draped over vehicles, etc. They often fly it alongside the flag of Trump (who's actively destroying our country with an unelected fascist), the flag of the traitors to our country (secessionist racists), the flag of supporting the successors to slave-catchers (police bullies with qualified immunity abusing the law), or even the flag of our literal enemies in the last World War (the Nazi swastika).
What is a country beside land and words written on old paper long ago? It's the people. Personally, I think we have a pretty great flag, but if you're actively hurting people in the country and glad about it, you're disrespecting this country more than anything you could do to its flag...
Very rarely does anyone use the flag as clothing. Portraying it on clothing is allowed.
Are you kidding me!?
There's thousands of pages of American flag clothing!
And I didn't say "allowed", just that the official US Flag Code prohibits it. But yeah, no one's going to come arrest you...
Yeah that cape would not be allowed. The rest are just similar color and pattern. You think anything that uses the colors red, white, and blue is prohibited?
