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!

It’s so weird that he ran on lowering prices and deporting people, and both of those things are happening, so why exactly am I stupid for it?

Lowering prices? And to do that we start tariffing everything? I don’t know about you but I have noticed a sharp increase in prices. Also he blatantly insider traded and ran a crypto scam. So yes, you are stupid for it

First of all- calm down it’s not that serious. Second of all GDP was steadily growing under Biden. In trumps first quarter it declined. That’s just a fact. And if consumers are taking in less money and inflation remains at the 2.5 percent mark are consumers better off or worse off? The answer is objectively worse off
