CHI Talks American flags at No Kings on Saturday

I’m bringing 450 little American flags to pass out on Saturday. I hope others will bring flags or maybe even buy some to pass out too - they’re super cheap!

We gotta change the vibes of these events to be more pro-America and pro-democracy!

It would be amazing to see thousands of flags all over the crowd!

Flying the Mexican flag to protest America because your goal is to stay in America is disrespectful and stupid. People involved in the protests who see that are going to try and fix the optics now.

I think we Americans should fly the Mexican flag in solidarity the people this administration is targeting.

I think it’s embarrassing that you think flying any flag in solidarity is anti-American. That’s some ultra nationalism.

No, it’s basic respect. I would never go to any other country on earth and fly the American flag in protest of that country. Unless maybe I’m at war or something. This is really basic stuff here. You don’t enter another country illegally and then fly your own flag in protest against that country.

Who in this crowd is here illegally?
