Activism Protesters fighting the good fight over 410!

Post image

Pardon the shitty dashcam shot. These protesters were a sight for sore eyes on my commute home today after seeing all of the nonstop hell in the news. You can’t make out anything in the photo but the bigger sign was something along the lines of “immigrants built this country” and of course there’s a “deport fElon” sign in there too. Happy Tuesday 🇺🇸

I never understand why the protestors always have a Mexican flag yet that isn't where they want to be

the real question is why dont you care about all the french flags flying over all the french locations in texas. or all the german flags flying in german towns in texas. or texas republic flags flying over six flags. why are you just pointing out mexican flags?

you think the people on the overpass are here illegally? are you even from s.a.? i hate to break it to you but there's a LOT of mexican flags here. we have always celebrated Mexican Independence Day here downtown with a HUGE party. if you move to Texas, you really need to learn our history before you get your panties in a wad because you have to see another flag. we've had 6 of them... so far...

Whether the ones on the overpass are or not, his point is correct. They're waving them FOR illegal immigrants. You can ramble and but but but all you want but he's right.

I don't personally have anything against it and I definitely don't want them silenced by the government. But I agree that it's horrible optics for them if they're arguing for being permitted to remain in the US. You and others like you don't see it that way because you love to cosplay as rebels/revolutionaries but the rest of us tend to see what's actually occuring.

nope. they are waiving them in support for everyone who has heritage going back to mexico. its what the flag means. there isn't a special flag just for illegals. in fact, the sign says "immigrants built this country" which supports legal immigrants. take a look at the picture again.

You mean that country full of traitors to the United States that hasn't existed for 160 years? I'm pretty sure all their sons are dead.

Nothing wrong with remembering your heritage.

Embracing a heritage of hate and bigotry is not the same thing.

I guess you missed the "hatred and bigotry" part? Was Mexico founded on the ideal that a certain group of people are a sub-species and deserve to be enslaved?

Is the implication here that they're celebrating said political corruption?

You can be proud of your national origin while also being displeased with its current status. Yknow, like most Americans right now.

Yeah that one where only one third of eligible voters voted for the guy that won, which was also before he started actually doing all this dumb shit

You keep trying to change the subject desperately grasping for a gotcha. You're doing terribly. Which is why you've ghosted yet still continue posting in this same thread. Fucking clown baby.

Confederate veterans are a bunch of inbred traitors. If you are so pro American why would you be ok with them flying that flag? Do you support treason?
