'No Kings Day' protests planned for June 14 with aim to reclaim the American flag

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Protests are planned for 1,800 communities across the country June 14, the same day President Donald Trump holds a military parade in Washington.

For decades, the GOP has claimed most of the symbols of patriotism, including the American flag, but the people protesting Trump, a Republican, say they are the true patriots now.

"We don't want to cede the narrative ground to Trump and MAGA that they they own the flag, they own patriotism," said Indivisible cofounder Ezra Levin, one of the organizers. "In fact, the most patriotic thing you can do (in) America is to show up peacefully and petition your government for something better."

The rallies, named "No Kings Day" to oppose what they see as Trump's power grab, are expected to be the largest and most numerous protests since Trump's second term began, dwarfing the Hands Off protests in early April that drew as many as 1 million Americans to the streets at more than 1,000 rallies.

1. Yes! It's OUR flag!

We are the true patriots who believe in real American principles. I'm so tired of the fake Christians who have co-opted our flag.

All they do is shit on it.

5. I have a negative emotional reaction when I see a pickup truck flying a big US flag

Because I know it is almost certainly in support of the treasonous Felon.

I look forward to the day when I have a positive emotional reaction.
