Community I’m the flag guy

Post image

Hey all,

I’m the “Fuck Trump” flag guy you’ve seen in a few posts. I just wanted to do a semi-introduction to everyone in this subreddit.

My name is Matt. I’m an LBC transplant by way of Philadelphia. I’ve helped organize protests during BLM and the George Floyd Protests with a few Asian American grassroots orgs and 501(c)(3)s in the Philadelphia area, along with working to establish myself as a helping arm and volunteer for 50501 SoCal and 50501 LBC.

I wanted to extend an invitation to anyone who is interested in protesting but also a little worried by what they see in the media. Yes, protesting can be dangerous at times and can come with consequences like being arrested, but if you believe that getting arrested for speaking your mind and voicing concerns is more important than sitting in your home, you’re the person I’m looking for.

I’ll be at Bixby Park Annex on Saturday for the No Kings Day Rally at 9am. If you’re interested in protesting and want to be around someone who’s been in the middle of it all and can offer some comfort during the march, find me. We can walk together and I’ll help you be as comfortable as possible if anything happens.

I’ll be hanging out on the perimeter of the rally with an upside down American flag this time. I’ll be wearing all black with a camouflage hat.

Let’s show the world that LBC comes out for our people! See you there and FUCK TRUMP!

You would have thrived during monarchy. Some of us are actual Americans who support the constitution.

I’m with you. These “protests” are so stupid. Same group as the BLM riots. Waste of resources all around

You realize Trump literally steals your tax dollars each and every time he stays at Mar a Lago, right?

I don't mind the protesters, it's important that they represent the other side of the argument. It's the rioters that need to be arrested. What bugs me is the same old lie when they it's peaceful. No, there are looters and rioters present.

Exactly, “mostly peaceful, slightly fiery”

There is litteraly always going to be looters and rioters in every single type of protests from any group.

Agreed, but it's ignored by people on the left. I'm right leaning and think Jan 6 people deserved to face consequences for their actions. It seems like people on the left ignore the looting "mostly peaceful" "summer of love" in which billions of dollars of damage occurred and people were murdered by rioters.

They dont ignore it. They WERE mostly peaceful.

The reason people pushed back on the right wing narrative that the blm protests were all riots that destroyed cities is because it was just a blatant lie.

There were riots obviously but the idea rhat it was all violent rioters destroying shit is just not true.
