  Go have this fight with someone that wants to have it and didn’t make it clear that kind of behavior isn’t alright. Maybe somewhere other than on a thread about cops threatening to come assault protesters in their homes.

  Interesting that a Californian making a callous comment about living in hurricane country is somehow equivalent to the conservative media industry absolutely cheering bloodshed any time natural disasters strike us. 🙄 If California celebrated like this any time, much less every time, a natural disaster hit somewhere else it would have its own dedicated conservative channel playing it on loop.

  I’ve lived through multiple hurricanes because I haven’t always lived in California. People from everywhere say that stupid shit about hurricane prone areas. Take the chip off your shoulder.

  Conservatives are unironically like this. They cheer when we have earthquakes and fires.

  Yeah, you’re not saying it. You just think no Mexican Americans, etc should show up with Mexican flags. Oh, also more American flags. What else to make the protest perfect so that no rightoid can say anything bad about it? Better get it all out here so the people can do everything perfectly to your standards.

  Talk is cheap.

  Fascinating you could determine from the picture that all of the thousands of people who showed up only care about deportations.

  Thankfully the people of LA are too stupid to fall for this bullshit. We see our neighbors with Mexican flags every day, it doesn’t make them belong here any less.

  I don't see why someone waving the Mexican flag, would be fighting for American democracy...

  Do you actually need me to lead you around by the nose and explain to you that American citizens can hold a Mexican flag in protest?

  How is protesting for their family and neighbors (weird you left that one out, you don’t have to be related to someone kidnapped to protest) from having their rights guaranteed to them by the Constitution not protecting democracy?

  Also, touching a Mexican flag doesn’t actually revoke your citizenship or residency, regardless of what Fox News says.

  What’s brain dead is thinking people only have a right to free speech if it fits what you think their optics should be.

  Anyone who wouldn’t support the burning of an American flag is an enemy of the US Constitution.

  If you weren’t there, what you mean is you haven’t been shown any American flags in the protests.

  Anyone who thinks there needs to be more American flags at the protests is welcome to bring them along with themselves. But sitting here criticizing the people actually off their ass and trying to protect democracy and their neighbors is bullshit.

  Further, the right is literally never going to see resistance to Trump positively. Anyone who has been on the Fox News drip for the past 20 years is so unhinged that living in California is a crime to them. Asking people whose neighbors and family members have been kidnapped by the federal government to hide their heritage in their protests because it might offend people that already hate them and want them gone is ridiculous. At least if you want to keep those people as allies.

  All the comments from all cross posts on a single page is great. You can also add your own user flair like you could on Reddit, which lemmy doesn’t support. I haven’t messed with it much yet, but the ability to make lists of communities into feeds also seems really useful.
