And that is why I am annoyed about this all, because it's so freaking dumb. The protesters, the 99% who are peacefully protesting, didn't do anything wrong. I am just so tired of how apparently impossible it is to get uninformed Americans out of the right-wing information bubble.
Because quite honestly, seeing Mexicans flags as a protest in America doesn't bother me, and I love seeing a diverse protest.
At some point, we have to ask how to deal with a huge swath of this country being so utterly deluded, that they don't understand the sheer diversity of much of America...
I find that it's insulting to who I am as an American, and our culture. This is part of life of living on the coasts; it's part of America, and it adds so much beauty to the nation.
And also, while I do not support violence at all, people burning shit is an expectable response to a tyrant. It's Trump's fault, his merciless policies and ridiculous stoking of flames causes these things to occur. So it's just an annoying situation. Optics should not matter, actual policies do.
