There's been a whole lot of talk in recent weeks about flags thanks to the media/Democrat Party industrial complex and their attempts at delegitimizing the Supreme Court and distracting voters from Joe Biden's abysmal record.
As RedState has extensively documented, the media-driven outrage all started after the NY Times published a "blockbuster" report two weeks ago that informed us that Martha-Ann Alito, wife of conservative Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, committed the apparent crime of briefly flying an inverted American flag - "a signal of dire distress" according to U.S. flag code - 11 days after the unfortunate events of January 6th, 2021 amid a heated dispute with a woke neighborhood wacko.
That piece, and a subsequent one they ran a few days later on the flying of the Revolutionary War-era "Appeal to Heaven" flag at the Alito beach house for a short time in 2023, was meant for the reader to conclude - as the Times clearly had - that the alleged "Jan. 6th symbolism" behind the flags meant Mrs. Alito sympathized with the Capitol rioters. As such, according to the NY Times' purported "experts," this also meant that Justice Alito's ability to be impartial as it related to Trump/J6 cases was lost.
Fortunately, Justice Alito has responded to Democrat demands for recusal accordingly, as has Chief Justice John Roberts, with both telling them in separate letters, in a nutshell, to take a long walk off a short pier.
But unwittingly, it appears Mrs. Alito, the ace reporters at the NY Times who brought us the conveniently timed stories, and gloating leftists have started a trend.
They had some help in this regard, thanks in no small part to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, a Soros-funded prosecutor who got what he (and the judge in the case, Juan Merchan) wanted Thursday with a guilty verdict on all 34 charges in his case against presumptive 2024 GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.
I saw a lot of this on the Twitter/X machine in the aftermath of news breaking on the guilty verdict:

My guess is that there will be a lot of Americans who will follow suit in their front yards with flags flying upside down in a display of solidarity with the sentiment expressed by prominent Republican figures like House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, with DeSantis perhaps nailing the issue better than all the rest:
Today’s verdict represents the culmination of a legal process that has been bent to the political will of the actors involved: a leftist prosecutor, a partisan judge and a jury reflective of one of the most liberal enclaves in America—all in an effort to “get” Donald Trump.
[...]
In America, the rule of law should be applied in a dispassionate, even-handed manner, not become captive to the political agenda of some kangaroo court.
It is unquestionably election interference at its ugliest and most potent, and if the trend holds, it does not bode well for the future of America.
As for "where do we go from here," my colleagues are already on it:
