I didn’t read the executive order, but I think it’s still ok to use the flag to burn someone else.

I mean, it’s desecration of the flag, which is a separate law itself.
Burning the flag typically makes the flag “unusable” afterwards and seeing as it is the *legal* way to dispose of retired flags, using this action to protest is considered free speech.
Desecrating the flag is like graffiti and meant to be permanent. You’re not intending to dispose of the flag after, you want everyone to see it. And that’s considered unpatriotic. This includes but it’s not limited to cutting/ripping it, drawing/writing on it, letting it touch the ground, wearing it for clothing, redesigning it (see “thin blue line”), etc.
Some people break these law much more than others, but like the Bible they claim to worship, they conveniently overlook the parts that could affect themselves. “When WE do it, it’s cute!”
