    Can someone explain to me why someone would wear crocs with the American flag? I get hanging it outside your house. But using it as a fashion item is something my european mind does not comprehend

      I get hanging it outside your house.

      I don’t know, isn’t that weird? Who does that? (US people, obviously, but other than that?)

      The flag is never supposed to touch the ground, its considered an insult to the flag and non-patriotic.

      So I’m all for it 👍

      They found a pair at Goodwill or some other discount site and cared more about saving a few bucks than looking stylish.

      It’s the same thing that happened to Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentines, Cinco de Mayo, St. Patties, insert any and every holiday here.

      Perversion of core values to turn a profit. It just so happens perverting American values like ‘freedom’ 1) makes people easy to control and 2) makes it easy to sell them shit like truck nuts for your american flag crocs.

      I like that you are more confused about the crocs being american than the nuts that are hanging from them :)

      What do the nuts actually symbolize? Im so lost there.

        There has been a trend among the dumbest of the dumb rednecks to hang fake rubber nuts off the hitch on their jewelry pickup truck. They think it makes them look masculine, when it makes them look even stupider than they actually are.

          It’s how rednecks proclaim trans positivity. The truck wasn’t built with testicles, and then they added them, which alters the truck’s gender. How progressive.
