Original Note:
Neither the “Appeal to Heaven” flag nor the upside down flag are “MAGA battle flags.” The first is a revolutionary war era flag used on American ships - one hung over San Francisco city hall for 60 years. There’s also little evidence J6 protestors flew upside down flags. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/beltway-confidential/3014748/the-appeal-to-heaven-flag-is-an-icon-of-american-history/ https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/the-alito-flag-story-was-even-weaker-than-it-looked/
