There were lots of flags at the Airport Rotary in Hyannis on Cape Cod, on April 5th. Upside down, almost all of them. Somewhere between 2000 and 3000 people took a stand that day, many with flags. Large ones. Small ones. I felt like I wanted to fly one right side up too. Why? Just to show that as much as we are desperate for help during this horrible assault on our democracy, I have some modicum of faith that we Americans will get it right. Again. That we Americans will take back our power. Again. That we Americans will show the world that we do care. Again. That we Americans will make the billionaire class stand down, just as we did to King George III these 250 years ago. I have faith that once again our flags will fly for all of us, right side up. So I will proudly fly mine right side up in hope, and in solidarity with all those who fly theirs upside down as a declaration of distress. Yes distress. And yes, pride and hope.
