And here's me thinking the thread topic was about the perceived lack of Democratic Party patriotism because some stage management functionary removed some bunting from view. This is undoubtedly an interesting rant, but it's a red herring away from the thread topic which is about an alleged lack of respect for the proprieties of civic ritual by those damnably unpatriotic Democrats. It could be worse, they could become flag humpers like King Donald the 1st.
