You know you can write an essay about your walk to work, mentioning sunflowers and seeing a US flag on the way; and instantly e.g. Breitbart will accuse you of not honouring it and trying to create a media storm discussing values and patriotism, and the NRA will criticize that you do not mention a gun.
It is all about twisting everything in a direction that interests them, and diverting from problems they should be accused for. Don't fall for it. |
There is an element of that, no doubt. Some factions will hype these things for their own good and purposes.
