This upside down flag thing is so 60s! Total hippie anti-war stuff. In Life Magazine, and upside down flags on dorm walls on nearly every campus in the country during the height of the Vietnam war’s unpopularity.

Also in the 80s in Seattle

Life in the 60s

People have their own reason for believing the country is in distress. It’s so weird. The players have changed, but the tactics remain the same. Although I don’t doubt that some former hippies are present day Tea Party members.
