... It's the Southwest. People from Mexico and of Mexican ancestry live there. They feel pride for their culture. How could this logically be seen as a badthing?
There is a very silly argument that we shouldn't fly foreign flags because it is giving racists ammunition for their "invading army of immigrants" claims. As if appeasing racists has historically worked to dissuage them
The only reason I can think that's a good idea for protestors to fly an American flag over their more preferred flag is the optics look real bad if cops are year attacking crowds with a bunch of people flying US flags. Of course the bootlickers on the right will still justify it.
Not to mention it used to be Mexico
Fox News only shows the 1 or 2 stores getting looted. They don’t show the regular protesters waving flags and asking for peace.
It’s making others scary and that’s what the dipshits I work with are seeing every day. It’s depressing.
