my lib mother wants to go to the NO KINGS protest tomorrow and I was opposed to bothering, but my friend (she's also my oldest friend's wife) also wants to go and hasn't ever been to a protest so I'm going to do it despite the whole thing being idealist stupidity. Neither my mom nor my friend has ever been to a real protest. My mom bought a plastic glittery red white and blue american flag cowboy hat. I'm gonna wear a mask because it's going to be the most embarrassing event I've ever gone to. We'll still probably get tear gassed by cop dipshits, too.

"All these suburbanite voters thinks we're commies, what do we do??"

"I know, let's say we're re-embracing the flag (during some of the most widespread political unrest in years while our opponents have been doing this exact flag worship for far longer)"

These are the political instincts I expect out of that loser party

It's like if the 3rd Reich held the Stephen Colbert🤝🏻John Stewart Rally to Restore Sanity during the holocaust

The protest in my town tomorrow is asking everyone to bring USA flags to show the chuds that "We're just as patriotic as them"

And i really, really just want to grab a bunch and burn them

I hate the 'No Kings' shit. Bastards can't even follow through with it. It's always been, "No Kings, No Gods, No Masters."

do nothing

lose

Oh boy American flag lapel pins all over again

They do this every 4 years. As do the Labour party here in the UK. It has literally never worked.

I'm so tired.

Real "the showrunners have run out of ideas" vibe.

Ah yes this will finally make them see the error of their ways

Wow, this has never been tried before

it's gonna be a big deal for metadata scraping / surveillance.

Buy Pepsi!

Did I made a mistake? Should this be in c/slop? I wasn't sure so I posted it here.

Counter-suggestion: they all have a "come to jesus moment" and become republican's in name, too

I think they can take them over
