This changes nothing. Spend that political capital lefties. Lord knows the people in washington refuse to. You couldnt force me at gun point to support the GOP.
Yeah, every Mexican flag in all of these photos is NOT helping their cause any. Just looks like exactly what the GOP says it is, an invasion. I’m not even sure I’ve SEEN an American flag during all the protest photos going around.
If you weren’t there, what you mean is you haven’t been shown any American flags in the protests.

Anyone who thinks there needs to be more American flags at the protests is welcome to bring them along with themselves. But sitting here criticizing the people actually off their ass and trying to protect democracy and their neighbors is bullshit.
Further, the right is literally never going to see resistance to Trump positively. Anyone who has been on the Fox News drip for the past 20 years is so unhinged that living in California is a crime to them. Asking people whose neighbors and family members have been kidnapped by the federal government to hide their heritage in their protests because it might offend people that already hate them and want them gone is ridiculous. At least if you want to keep those people as allies.
protect democracy
Are they trying to protect democracy, or are they just trying to keep their family from being deported?
I don’t see why someone waving the Mexican flag, would be fighting for American democracy…
“Are these anti-Nazi protestors holding up a Star of David trying to protect democracy in Germany, or are they just trying to keep their family from being deported?”
🤡
You do know that when Germans protest against Nazis they commonly use the German flag, right? 🤡 indeed.
