Of course they didn't acknowledge because the US flag belongs to them and not the rest of us. Plus you have that pride flag. Of course, it's OK for them to fly the stars and bars, the flag of insurrectionists.

Authoritarians love theater which obfuscates their true agendas; pageantry, show-of-force parades, public executions, bread and circuses with more circus than bread. They claim to own patriotism with showy gestures, such as Trump molesting the flag. Their brand of "patriotism" is unquestioning acceptance of the legitimacy of their own agenda; so much flag waving that we might be distracted from the malicious self-servingness of threatening to default on the nation's financial obligations, "shut down" needed and orderly government services, or block staffing of essential military positions attempting to extort partisan capitulation. Look at how the Constitution describes a "militia" contrasted with their gangs of goons with guns. The beating heart of a nation is its people.
I figure that every person in my neighborhood that has a flag flying is a R. And yes, we have plenty of goon with guns around as well. I just hope enough people with an actual beating heart of democracy can prevail
