I don’t think patriotism and flag code are necessarily linked.

Flag burning isn’t against the flag code. Flexing your 1st amendment is definitely patriotic.

Huh, TIL. I guess throwing it on the ground was against flag code but not the actual burning.

The burning after it touches the ground is actually what you’re supposed to do according to the flag code.

I will only assume you have no taste, because it’s just a flag and I don’t care. But that looks horrible.
