I’m guessing because it’s been adopted by the extreme right using it as a symbol of hate under the pretenses of their values being “American” when in all actuality these folks represent the antithesis of American values.

I don't understand people who cede symbols and objects just because people they dislike use it, especially when it's the flag of the FUCKING COUNTRY YOU LIVE IN. Maybe they're flying them to remind people they're all Americans and to try and bring unity? Besides, if people are being attacked in the street for carrying US flags, which they are, aren't the people attacking them the antithesis of American values?

Because the goal is to associate as many people as they possibly can with 'white supremacists' so they can then selectively enforce it on wrongthinkers. One supposed white supremacist waves a flag somewhere, they declare it Cancelled and now they get to call anyone they don't like with an American flag a white supremacist and use the flag as proof. It's the slimmest of justifications but it's just barely enough for cowards and sycophants to decide it's 'controversial' and follow along with the struggle session.

You'd think they'd get tired of their side calling everything racist then. Ok signs, milk, personal responsibility, all of that is pretty normal shit.

That's where the selective part comes in. They only crow about how racist the flag is when they can use it to shut up people they don't like. They won't say anything about it otherwise.

And clearly they haven't gotten tired of it yet, they've just double downed on it over and over again. Calling things racist at this point is the entire foundation of the progressive movement. If they didn't have it their ideology would fall apart. It is nearly their justification for everything. Unfortunately it still works.

Being called a racist used to mean something, and being a 'racist' used to mean something. They were shunned by society because their views and actions were abhorrent. The left has been abusing that societal impulse as a political tool for years and now they apply it to everything. They'll call you a 'racist' for waving an American flag because one guy they didn't like somewhere did it and they still expect society to treat you like you were burning crosses on somebody's lawn.

They were salvaged in the middle east.

Unless you'll have me convinced that ancient architectural feats like Roman aqueducts and Colosseum were built without an equivalent of it. In which case, have at it.
