This is for your own safety and the optics of how protestors are seen. TRUMP CANT CALL US UN-AMERICAN or push that narrative. That’s how he’s going to stoke his supporters anger. If we all fly the American flag THEY can’t strip our humanity or dignity as easily.

White America: please recognize that foreign flags don’t mean that they are invading and are more than likely LEGAL Americans.

People of color: please JUST fly the American flag. It’s so hard for military troops to fire at their own flag.

Yeah no fucking shit. Way to reinforce the idea that America is overrun by Mexican immigrants by flying Mexican flags. You should carry an American flag.

Go do it yourself. Anyone who can’t cope with the fact that people with Mexican heritage live in California can get fucked.

No one is disputing that but if you want to win you need to undermine the rights talking points. The left needs to reclaim patriotism from these fascists. Fly American flags and talk about how Trump is unamerican. Drive a wedge between patriotism and fascism and make the gulf wider and wider so people are forced to take a side between country and these parasites.

There is literally no type of protesting from the left that the right will approve of. You are fighting a stupid, losing battle by trying to play by rules the right neither believes in or adheres to themselves.

If you want more American flags there, go do it yourself. Anyone not there has zero right to criticize.
