    I’ve been saying for years the good thing about a trump presidency is libs pretending to care again

    Remember last year when dems were supporting deportations and expanding the wall?

    Remember the picture of the Haitian immigrant being chased by a pig on a horse?

    I’m glad there are protests now but they were needed then too. I just hope this sticks in people’s heads

      A year ago if anti-genocide protestors did this libs on reddit would be saying “it’s just making people disagree with their movement!”

      I wonder what they’re saying now

    I’m glad that there are demonstrations this weekend. While I understand the critiques of just marching, it does at least boost morale

      It’s not technically just marching if it clogs a major freeway.

    noticing how their go-to now is to “deport them all”

    so deport at this point just means “put in a death camp/murder” now right?

    r/PublicFreakout doesn’t like this at all

    Wouldn’t it be more effective if they flew American flags also? Protesting to stop deportation but flying the flag of the country they want to send you to doesn’t make sense to me.

    I feel flying American flags would have more impact.

    You know, this is why liberals lost and why we continue to lose. We refuse to try and understand our opposition and their feelings. Flying a flag of a different country and stopping traffic is not going to endear people to your cause.

    The boot will come down, and I don’t think we are ready for the fallout.

    It’s the best ad for Trump that he didn’t pay for. Blocking traffic with foreign flags flying reduces sympathy for these people, and implies that Trump is correct that they don’t belong. Protestors need to ask themselves what they want and how they can get it.

    People’s livelihood depends on them getting to work, school, etc on time. All this does is piss people off who were on the fence with issues like this.

    All I see are people flying a Mexican flag. If they want to counter the whole “immigrant invasion” narrative then maybe they should consider flying the American flag.

      counter point: I see brave people blocking the endless parade of pedestrian killing petroleum chariots and clearly not flying the US flag and I find them very endearing and find myself wanting to learn more about their motivation and sympathize with their cause.

      and then it turns out their cause is protecting people from door kicking fascist pigs doing ethnic cleansing and state terror against the working class, and I’m completely on board.
