I think a lot of things legal are disgusting like churches being tax exempt while being legally allowed to discriminate against women.
I love my country and think burning a flag is shitty, but it's legal. Buttfucking is shitty, but it's legal. Raping your wife is shitty, but it's legal.
I think you feel more about the material flag than the rights and history it represents, and your fellow Americans equal rights
If your patriotism makes you a better American than most then you of all people should stand by the American you despise most and defend their rights as your own. This is how Democrats think/act. This is why the vast majority of military voters are registered Democrats
