THIS only happens when Americans are fed up with Trump's Ice Death Squad murdering innocent unarmed citizens -- and funding the murder and terror with money diverted from our healthcare system!!!
So, try to suppress your "righteous anger" for a minute, put your thinking caps on. If I come to your neighborhood at the head of a large column marching behind a foreign flag; I'm basically telling you that "I don't like the way you're running your country; Do it my way! Versus I'm an American and I'm upset about the way my government is running our country! Two different point of view. Americans don't like it when someone else tells them what to do. But it's better when we tell each other...
I was hoping someone would say it. This is an AMERICAN issue. Protest as an American will have a better effect than giving more “MeXiCO iS tAkinG OvER” ammo to Fox News & MAGA influencers. Like, read the fuckin room. Pigeonholing it into an immigrant issue is not helping the cause. It’s just helping them divide and conquer us.
Agreed. At least on the American issue, it is a homegrown problem, and we should focus on that as protestors. But I'm not sure what you mean about Mexico and jobs - that is the maga mantra, not protestors. We actually don't care if you're legally here or not, most of us. Protestors are not blaming anyone but trump and all his goons.
You do realize that the USA's flag is technically a "foreign flag," right? I mean Trump basically said it himself. "The fact that they landed a boat there 500 years ago doesn’t mean they own the land."
The same Americans who say this are probably the ones that go around saying they're Irish or German because that's where their ancestors may have come from 200 years ago.
Like... not only are you triggered by it, you want to ban people from waving other countries flags or what? You guys sure are thorough in going through ALL the constitutional amendments, one after another, and murdering them in their sleep. This would be the 1st amendment, by the way, in case you never read that thing.

Trump did the seemingly impossible. He made Americans so mad, they walk... on foot... like, moving without a car.

This only happens in America because we allow people to wave foreign flags here while protesting an American problem.

The flags are the ONLY problem?

? They're rounding up other nationalities and sending them to camps... They're flying flags in solidarity with the victim nationalities.
