This changes nothing. Spend that political capital lefties. Lord knows the people in washington refuse to. You couldnt force me at gun point to support the GOP.

    Yeah, every Mexican flag in all of these photos is NOT helping their cause any. Just looks like exactly what the GOP says it is, an invasion. I’m not even sure I’ve SEEN an American flag during all the protest photos going around.

      I’ve seen a couple. They were getting burned. Nothing about it helps their cause any. They’re declaring themselves enemies of America. Brain dead.

        What’s brain dead is thinking people only have a right to free speech if it fits what you think their optics should be.

        Anyone who wouldn’t support the burning of an American flag is an enemy of the US Constitution.

        I’m saying it has everything to do with optics.

        Big angry crowds all flying Mexican flags just plays into their agenda. It looks like this isn’t Americans fighting back against ICE, it looks like it’s Mexicans fighting back against ICE IN America…

        Which in turn, just makes it look (to the average American) that they’re onto something, and that the Trump team is doing what they say they are.

          You want me to believe anyone in this country cares about “optics” when a man in orange make-up blathers on about nothing, live on television every single day.

          Nope, optics is just another scape goat that keeps lefties on the benches while the right is burning the constitution.

          Action > optics

          Force the rights hand. Its time.
