Which looks worse? A country blatantly attacking its own citizens flying its own flag? Or a country attacking illegal immigrants flying a flag of a foreign country we’ve kinda’ had a war with in the past?
Those people are legal nonresidents you dipshit. They are protesting against the deportation of legally present foreign nationals. That’s the entire fucking point of the protest. What you’re calling ‘bad-optics’ is just flat out racist jingoism. There’s nothing wrong or illegal about flying another country’s flag, except through the racist logic of mass deportation. There isn’t anything wrong with protesting as a legal non-resident against your own targeted deportation.
Libs are afraid of Trump taking power under the delusion of some foreign invasion, and their genius strategy to stop him is to hide away anyone who gives latin-american vibes? Put away all the cultural and national symbolism so that we can say ‘look, there’s no invasion, there aren’t any latin-american immigrants here’? This is like people advocating for trans rights by arguing that it’s extremely rare to be trans. Ok, yea maybe that’s true, but it’s not a problem to be trans anyway, why does it matter at all if there are a lot of them or not? And if someone was running around scaremongering about marxists transing the youth, wouldn’t it then suddenly be a problem for libs if trans people were loudly and proudly displaying their identities?
Jesus christ, we are so fucking cooked. If this many liberals are totally bought in to this ‘bad protest optics’ shit, they will 100% be collaborating with the fascists.
