I’m just going to presume it’s because the majority of the US is thick as fuck, rather than this being done on purpose
Plenty in the UK don’t know which way up it should be - I got into a lengthy argument with somebody recently who insisted it was a left/right issue and had nothing to do with where the flag pole might be.
As a Brit, I was told this was a sign of emergency… Maybe they are trying to say something?
A common belief but no evidence to support it.

As shitty as our country is, it’s full of great people, too. I don’t think it’s TOO big of a stretch to suggest it might have been deliberate. Tons of veterans return further left than when they enlisted, certainly a few have read Simple Sabotage Field Manual.pdf
Remember this: Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they’ve already enlisted in the cause.
We could send over Sharpe, a bunch of redcoats, Robson & Jerome, and Our Girl from Our Girl, and they’d sort everything out in time for afternoon tea.
My first thought too!
Seems kinda fitting, things are a bit shit right now.
