Maybe they just like the American flag. There doesn't always have to be a hidden meaning behind it.

When you use Google's precise location tracking, your location is found almost instantly, even if you're indoors.
If you're not using it, you need to be outdoors for it to triangulate your position. It takes about 3 or 4 seconds to calculate, but once it's found it works perfectly fine.
Maybe that was your issue?
Yes, I used it as my primary mapping tool on GrapheneOS, the GPS locating worked fine, and I didn't have any Google software installed.
It works perfectly fine without any GApps, not sure where you're getting this info. I've used it for months with no issues.
The way you're framing it seems disingenuous. You act like only people on the right lie and spread misinformation (and they do!). It feels like you're making a childish jab at the right because you don't like them.
Left-wing people and right-wing people both lie to you plenty, because political leanings have nothing to do with it.
I'm not claiming the piece itself is truthful, but you've got your head deep in the sand if you think the right wing is the only group lying to you, while the left & everyone else is truthful.
2 and 3 are already supported in GrapheneOS.
Someone's political beliefs aren't indicative of how well they can form an argument. People can misrepresent data regardless of their political leanings, this whole talking point in the comments is irrelevant.

How so?
If my keys use elliptic curves, you couldn't possibly brute force it.
Not to downplay the security of OLM, but if MegOLM is as cryptographically sound as OpenPGP, then that's already very secure.
As long as my private key is safe, it would be computationally impossible for anyone to decrypt messages intended for me.
Trump is entirely irrelevant to this, and I'm confused why you feel the need to throw it in. This trend has been around long before 2016.
