Do Americans always carry American flags around with them - you know, just in case?

(I suppose it could be a coincidence...)

America is the only place on earth where you can pretend the elected chief executive is a "threat to democracy" and at the same time fantasize wistfully about the country being taken over by a military dictatorship.
