Upside-Down Flags Fly in Pro-Trump Protests Across U.S.
Following former President Donald Trump's felony conviction, his supporters have adopted the upside-down American flag as a symbol of protest, reflecting a broader trend of the flag's use by right-wing groups to signal distress and outrage. This symbol, historically used to indicate distress, has been increasingly embraced by right-wing extremists and mainstream conservative figures to express dissatisfaction with perceived threats to American values and principles.
