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.

    Do you need me to lead you around by the nose and explain to you that American citizens (Are they? You can’t tell that from a picture.) holding Mexican flags in protest, don’t give 2 shits about “saving American Democracy”, and care more about deportations only?

    I don’t see Mexican flags at “No Kings” protests. You know - The ones that are actually focused on American Democracy. I see American flags. Pride flags. etc. – Through all of these LA protest pictures, I see nothing but the flag of a foreign country…which I am saying plays into the story that Republicans are telling the American people.

      Fascinating you could determine from the picture that all of the thousands of people who showed up only care about deportations.

      Thankfully the people of LA are’t stupid enough to fall for this bullshit. We see our neighbors with Mexican flags every day, it doesn’t make them belong here any less.

      Babe you already did this. Scroll up and follow the links this time.

        Never made such a claim. You’re so caught up in thinking I’m an enemy that you knee-jerk into all sorts of accusations and false claims. I’m saying that it’s bad for convincing the American public that you’re on the right side of things. Other Americans seeing the national guard coming down on people flying American flags, is bad optics for DJT. Seeing them coming down on people flying nothing but Mexican flags, looks good to the mostly racist American populace. That’s literally the only thing I’m saying.

          Yeah, you’re not saying it. You just think no Mexican Americans, etc should show up with Mexican flags. Oh, also more American flags. What else to make the protest perfect so that no rightoid can say anything bad about it? Better get it all out here so the people can do everything perfectly to your standards.

          Talk is cheap and the criticisms of anyone not at the protests are worthless.

            If I don’t say it, then I am not saying it. Men don’t pull that bullshit. There’s no undertones here, there’s no reading between the lines. There IS no between the lines. I didn’t say it, so stop fucking saying that’s what I mean, because I don’t. You don’t get to dictate what my words mean.
