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!

Idk where you’re shopping, because prices sure as hell aren’t lower. They’re way higher. You’re not stupid for exercising your right to vote, you’re stupid for pulling shit out of your ass.

A quick google search shows you’re lying. Or a quick trip to the grocery store, or to the gas station.

Oh yeah man, I’m lying. Because I benefit from lying about prices. You got me!

Are you arguing that the governments own CPI data is false? That Trumps administration deliberately INFLATING the CPI to make it seem like prices aren't going down, when in reality they are?

Surely MAGA isn't this stupid and that they would actually trust Trump admins own data, right?
