This.
My flag is up (made in USA, by the way). I fly it to support the country, NOT the current leaders.
Oh and on the subject of No Kings: I kept seeing the news media refer to it as the "so-called" No-Kings protest. What exactly was "so-called" about it???
What else might one expect the MAGAt agitprop machine to call it? Mass tourism in city centers?
Still, the amount of "good" these protests seem to have done so far is almost negligible beyond the signs and resulting online memes. Seems like unless these protests can really result in the disruption of the status quo - the government, the economy, the political processes - they feel like little more than parades. Maybe the idea will catch hold, there seems to be a decent amount of coordination. Whether the bulk of the electorate will wait to participate until it's too late to make any difference is another story.
