The flag was designed for the specific purposes of making people ignore social issues, the founding fathers were actually incredibly studious psychologists, and they made the flag knowing that the specific combination of red, white, and blue would cause people to go into a frothing rage, killing mexicans on site and having spontanious orgasms at the mere thought of Trump's combover. The stars added through the years don't actually represent new states, but rather they have been repositioned to allow greater control. States being added at the same time was merely a coincedence believed to be a side effect of Pence's time machine wreaking havoc on the very fabric of the universe, the same fabric the flag itself is made of. It is believed that area 51 is in face a massive flag, used to influence specific parts of africa and greenland. The siezures suffered by Clinton during the campaign season were the result of Ben "silent killer" Carson, the USA's top undercover agent, secretly injecting her with a solution of ground up flags while she was sleeping. You can shitpost, Mr Stevenson, but one day you may find yourself on the wrong and of a loaded flagpole, and we'll see who's steaming on twitter then.
