Like our country's flag, my flag contains symbolism.

---

My flag is designed to share the same proportions as the United States flag, as well as the same patriotic red, white, and blue color scheme.

The United States flag has thirteen stripes to represent the thirteen original colonies.  

My flag has three stripes to represent my original three truths leading up to the 2024 election:

#1 - I will vote in the 2024 presidential election.  

#2 - I will not vote for Biden.  

#3 - I will not vote for Trump.

This was my way of pushing back against a narrative that seemed determined to force me into a repeat of the 2020 election.  Thankfully, with Biden out of the mix, we will at least avoid that situation.  I wish the Republicans had also found a way to offer me someone new...but unfortunately that is not the case.

The United States flag has a field of blue populated by fifty white stars to represent each of the fifty states.  My flag has a field of blue populated by one white silhouette to represent my willingness to stand apart from the two party political system we have in this country which, in my opinion, hasn't been functioning very well in recent elections.

The choice of a rhinoceros silhouette is a playful clap-back at former president Donald Trump.  He often refers to people as "RINO"s if they don't conduct themselves the way he wants.  He intends it as an insult, but for me it conjures up an image of someone strong and steady...willing and able to stand their own ground.
