    Also, touching a Mexican flag doesn’t actually revoke your citizenship or residency, regardless of what Fox News says.

    LOL WUT? What in earthly green fuck are you on about now? Nobody ever claimed this, so not only are you straw-manning NOT saying something, you’re ALSO straw-manning words that were never said in the first place.

    You build up being the victim because I didn’t include some special case that you wanted me to, and then pretend that I’m some righty? lol - You truly are pathetic.

    The point is that I’m pretty sure these people more simply don’t give 2 shits about “Due process” or any of the plethora of other dipshit, dumbass, illegal as fuck, traitorous shit that DJT is doing – and pretty much only care about deportations.

    If you care about America, your country, and fighting Fascism, then you’re flying a US flag, and taking that symbol back.

      I don’t see why someone waving the Mexican flag, would be fighting for American democracy…

      Do you actually need me to lead you around by the nose and explain to you that American citizens can hold a Mexican flag in protest?

      Then go fucking do it instead of being a keyboard warrior criticizing the people actually doing shit. Jealousy’s an ugly color.

        Do you need me to lead you around by the nose and explain to you that American citizens (Are they? You can’t tell that from a picture.) holding Mexican flags in protest, don’t give 2 shits about “saving American Democracy”, and care more about deportations only?

        I don’t see Mexican flags at “No Kings” protests. You know - The ones that are actually focused on American Democracy. I see American flags. Pride flags. etc. – Through all of these LA protest pictures, I see nothing but the flag of a foreign country…which I am saying plays into the story that Republicans are telling the American people.

          Fascinating you could determine from the picture that all of the thousands of people who showed up only care about deportations.

          Thankfully the people of LA are’t stupid enough to fall for this bullshit. We see our neighbors with Mexican flags every day, it doesn’t make them belong here any less.

          Babe you already did this. Scroll up and follow the links this time.

            Never made such a claim. You’re so caught up in thinking I’m an enemy that you knee-jerk into all sorts of accusations and false claims. I’m saying that it’s bad for convincing the American public that you’re on the right side of things. Other Americans seeing the national guard coming down on people flying American flags, is bad optics for DJT. Seeing them coming down on people flying nothing but Mexican flags, looks good to the mostly racist American populace. That’s literally the only thing I’m saying.

              Yeah, you’re not saying it. You just think no Mexican Americans, etc should show up with Mexican flags. Oh, also more American flags. What else to make the protest perfect so that no rightoid can say anything bad about it? Better get it all out here so the people can do everything perfectly to your standards.

              Talk is cheap and the criticisms of anyone not at the protests are worthless.

                If I don’t say it, then I am not saying it. Men don’t pull that bullshit. There’s no undertones here, there’s no reading between the lines. There IS no between the lines. I didn’t say it, so stop fucking saying that’s what I mean, because I don’t. You don’t get to dictate what my words mean.
