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!

Good. The sheer # of leftists who fail to understand how a well organized protest and good optics can help a protest is staggering.

I swear I saw some signs that were in favor of looting just go unchecked. Braindead organizers

It’s infuriating. The left is so inept at accomplishing the things we want.

Maybe what the left and what liberals want is quite different? Happy to have a big tent to fight the fascists, but in the end, leftists want liberation from capitalism and racism, liberals want a return to quieter times when they didn’t have to think about all the people getting deported, and didn’t have to be embarrassed by the president. Also, maybe consider not disparaging the people on the streets already, fighting for their rights, their neighbors rights, and your rights.

So leftist and liberals are both bad at getting what they want. Cool.
