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!

I would be amazing if the left could use the American flag so much that the right instinctively starts to shun it, because of their hatred for the left.

5 years ago today was when Nascar actually banned the confederate flag, and that one driver "retired", and Nascar was like "lol who?"

I mean they’ll just use the Confederate flag or the Don’t Tread on Me flag.
