Others, especially those around the world (that are allowed to do so) have no qualms protesting against symbols of their own Govt or country when it is failing it’s citizens, or there is an inequality perceived to be taking place with no-little appetite for change.
You are not going to understand this, but America is different. Here you don’t protest the National Anthem or burn the flag.
Yes, you do (you as in the American people). It has happened, and will likely happen again.
Yes, I know there are those who don’t give a shit about respect, this country, and those that died for their freedoms, and will do these disrespectful things.
That’s your interpretation.
