Seems to me that people who want to fly Mexican flags to represent their heritage are the ones out in the streets resisting fascism. If you want to see more American flags, get off your ass and out in the streets in similar numbers.

If anyone has the means to procure American and/or Californian flags in bulk, I will be happy to help hand them out at LA area protests. DM me.
Por que no los dos?
Well, if you fly the Mexican flag, for example, ICE could use that as justification to shoot or arrest you, and right-wing news could use the footage to claim Mexico is invading.
As if The Idiot won't screech "un-American" unless every single person angry at his bigotry does everything right.
It’s so hard for military troops to fire at their own flag.
No the fuck it's not.

If they do everything right according to his book they'll be busy licking his boots.
Yeeeah I might've dropped my double negatives in my vodka.
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.
Sadly, the people who can't cope with the fact that people with Mexican heritage live in California are the ones that have the army, and the finely oiled PR machine.
Just once, I'd like to see us play the PR game, even a little bit, rather than deliberately handing them the victory on that front.
Maybe we should also ask anyone who isn’t white to stay home. You know, since they believe brown people are invading the US.

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.
