Very strongly agree

Yes, and it should be illegal to burn any nation’s flag

This answer aligns closely with authoritarian values by not only advocating for the illegalization of burning the American flag but extending that protection to all nation's flags. It reflects an authoritarian stance on preserving national dignity, respect for authority, and the suppression of actions deemed disrespectful to any nation's symbols. This broader protection of national symbols underscores the authoritarian emphasis on state power and control over public expressions of dissent or disrespect.

Yes

Authoritarian ideologies often prioritize national unity, identity, and respect for symbols of the state over individual freedoms. Making it illegal to burn the American flag would align with the authoritarian emphasis on maintaining a strong, unified national image and punishing acts perceived as disrespectful or threatening to state symbols. Historical examples include various authoritarian regimes that have outlawed desecration of national symbols to preserve state authority and prevent dissent.

Strongly disagree

No, I don’t respect anyone who does but they should have the right to do so

While this answer acknowledges a right to perform an act seen as disrespectful to national symbols, it still tolerates the act itself, which would be contrary to authoritarian values. Authoritarian regimes typically seek to suppress actions that could be interpreted as dissent or disrespect towards the state, even if there is a grudging acknowledgment of the individual's right to dissent.

Very strongly disagree

No

Authoritarian ideologies typically do not support actions that could be seen as undermining the state or its symbols. Allowing the burning of the American flag would be viewed as tolerating dissent and disrespect towards national unity and authority, which is contrary to authoritarian principles of control and uniformity.

No, this is a violation of free speech

Authoritarian ideologies often place limited value on individual rights such as free speech, especially when such rights conflict with the interests of the state or its image. The protection of free speech, including acts that could be seen as disrespectful to national symbols, is generally at odds with authoritarian principles that prioritize state control and conformity over individual liberties.

Very strongly disagree

No, it’s just a piece of cloth that doesn’t represent what it should

This answer undermines the symbolic value of the national flag and, by extension, the state itself, which is antithetical to authoritarian ideologies. Authoritarian regimes often emphasize the sanctity of state symbols as a means of fostering national unity and loyalty. Dismissing the flag as 'just a piece of cloth' directly contradicts the authoritarian emphasis on symbolism and national pride.
