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.
Muh flag
I’m saying it has everything to do with optics.
Big angry crowds all flying Mexican flags just plays into their agenda. It looks like this isn’t Americans fighting back against ICE, it looks like it’s Mexicans fighting back against ICE IN America…
Which in turn, just makes it look (to the average American) that they’re onto something, and that the Trump team is doing what they say they are.
You want me to believe anyone in this country cares about “optics” when a man in orange make-up blathers on about nothing, live on television every single day.
Nope, optics is just another scape goat that keeps lefties on the benches while the right is burning the constitution.
Action > optics
Force the rights hand. Its time.
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.
I’ve seen a couple. They were getting burned. Nothing about it helps their cause any. They’re declaring themselves enemies of America. Brain dead.
What’s brain dead is thinking people only have a right to free speech if it fits what you think their optics should be.
Anyone who wouldn’t support the burning of an American flag is an enemy of the US Constitution.
Wtf are you talking about?
The low IQ Republican take who aren’t smart enough to get the context.
