Flag pins. Everyone forgets the flag pins.

They weren't a thing politicians typically wore before 9/11. Everyone had to after. Obama showed up once without one and Fox News cried bloody murder. He never was seen without one after, at least not in any official capacity.

That was the last time I remember anyone pushing back on that ridiculous faux-patriotism, and it was over before it began.
