New Jersey shore visitors, when did putting up flags become a thing? (Opinion)
Possibly I’ve simply been a nasty New Jersey resident and I haven’t gotten a lot seaside time in the previous few years, however I really feel like I utterly missed the memo on this pattern.
I swear I had by no means seen this earlier than final week in Wildwood, however abruptly a bunch of individuals are placing up flags throughout their day on the seaside.
First I noticed what appeared like a traditional pirate flag with a cranium and crossbones. That didn’t appear too bizarre, it’s a minimum of ocean-themed, you understand?
About an hour later I noticed that somebody put up the Italian flag. I assume this particular person was attempting to ship the message “if you wish to know the place to get an excellent slice of pizza, I’ll gladly information you. Mangia!”
Then I began seeing political flags and that’s the place I needed to roll my eyes. There have been just a few completely different teams alongside the shoreline with assorted “Trump 2024,” or “Let’s Go Brandon” flags.
Actually?
I simply don’t perceive this particular person’s endgame. Throughout your day on the Jersey shore, are you actually attempting to get into political debates with these round you? We’re all right here to attempt to have a calming seaside day.
Properly, as “relaxed” as you will get whereas dodging seagulls and boogie boarding children who don’t have any regard on your ankles’ well-being.
And earlier than you name me a “libtard” (who’re we kidding? You most likely have already got), I’d be equally as confused if somebody had a “Biden 2024” flag flying. Frankly, I would by no means cease cringing if I noticed an “I am along with her” flag in 2022.
I’m not the one one who has observed this pattern, I’ve seen a number of posts on the New Jersey subreddit concerning political flags on the seaside.
I say we cool it with the politics on the seaside, that is not what we’re there for.
