  3. President Biden’s State of the Union address highlighted many of his accomplishments. Despite this, lot of people, including 58% of Democrats do not want him to run for reelection. Why is that?
  4. There is intense fighting near Bakhmut in Ukraine. This may mark the first successful advance for the Russians in a long time. Should the US be doing more to help the Ukrainians?

What do these flags represent? Why are people flying them? Is it ok to wave a flag that might upset some people, even if it has a different meaning to you personally?

Example flags (I’m leaving out all the ultra-offensive F-Biden flags on purpose):
