    There is a very silly argument that we shouldn’t fly foreign flags because it is giving racists ammunition for their “invading army of immigrants” claims. As if appeasing racists has historically worked to dissuage them

      The only reason I can think that’s a good idea for protestors to fly an American flag over their more preferred flag is the optics look real bad if cops are year attacking crowds with a bunch of people flying US flags. Of course the bootlickers on the right will still justify it.
