Olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social: I would love to see orders of magnitude more discussion about what "swing voters" should figure out, deal with, suck up, get a clue about, etc and orders of magnitude less discussion about how protestors should coddle random third party's hallucinations about this section of the electorate. "how could someone fly a Mexican flag at an LA protest? Heavens, what will Steve, a downwardly mobile CPA in Madison Wisconsin make of this affront?" personally if - big if - Steve is paying attention I think he should probably just fucking deal with it?

... 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.

    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.
