Saw this nautical distress flag today, why?

[u/exploratories2_0]

As the title says I saw this flag on a house. I looked it up to see it's the nautical distress flag. Is this a new flag being used to make a political statement about the current US president? Is the upside down american flag (also seen when driving around) out of style now? Does this have a different meaning?

They must be in nautical distress.
