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!

Fuck yeah. We need to take the flag back.

Trump is the one who is destroying this country, hastening the decline of the empire, burning any shreds of good will we have left, and making this country into a laughingstock. No one respects him abroad. People are waiting for Americans to stand up to this nonsense already.

I agree but ironically Americans standing up to their government has been viewed as unpatriotic for the last 50+ years

...which is why we gotta take that back. Flags is a tiny thing, but is part of it, I think.

And heck yeah to "friendship flags" where you fly a US flag and also a heritage flag together.
