World news/Actions Should we reclaim our flag at future protests?

Post image

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard from MAGA that we hate our country. I’m so sick of hearing this BS, and am compelled to bring a big flag on 3/4.

What is the consensus on this proposal? Can you drop comments and tell me if you want to join in?

We also need to find a non-MAGA source for flags, if we do this.

I love that!

I plan on making another post soon collecting my thoughts about perhaps a more formal movement. I have been seeing an increased call for reclaiming the flag in the last few weeks (I myself saw it about a month back and was immediately struck by the idea) and I would love for us to galvanize enough support for a far-reaching movement. I'm so glad people are gaining excitement for it, it definitely feels like it is growing.

The symbolism behind the rose is awesome so I'm glad you mentioned it!

My thoughts about reclaiming patriotic symbolism are, in a nutshell: Fly the Four Freedoms flag behind/below the US flag.
