    I have a bunch of 10+ year old shirts that I got for about $0.93 each on July 5th.

    While the faded, cracking, sometime half-gone flags are a little apropos, I only wear them now when I have a hoodie on or something that covers it. And my other shirts get worn first.

    It’s really hard to find shirts that are comfortable for my body type and sensory issues and 100% cotton…

    But every time I see someone with apparel or decals of American flags now, I can usually accurately guess the person’s voting habits and how they feel about the fact that gasp people can be gay. And asexual. And bi. And everything in between and around, up down and sideways.

    Literally today on my way across the state I encountered a middle aged chucklefuck decked out in a button up top shorts, a hat, and phone case all adorned with the flag, and within 30 seconds of being within earshot I heard 3 different slurs.
