Absolutely. We should hope these protests are flooded with American flags. It messes up the anti-American narrative the right-wing media is using to keep people from associating these protests with the rich constitutional history of this nation. Don't allow them to do that! Optics matter folks!

As a Mexican born US citizen, I have a suggestion. At the moment only one party believes in checks and balances, due process, and First Amendment rights. That means only one party has the right to carry the American flag. We need to reclaim it. Force them to pick a new flag. They are not Patriots.

But, I also get the frustration of Dem/liberal protestors who are being asked to answer for every foreign flag/rock thrown, etc... when no one seems ask the GOP to answer for every disgusting anti-abortion sign, "God Hates F--s" sign and actual 1/6 violence.
One of the basic flaws in our system as it deals with protests is it requires hundreds/thousands of people to all be on their best behavior.One rock thrower(or agent provocateur)can get the whole thing shut down (thereby nullifying everyone's 1st amendment rights).
Human decency means that we actively and peacefully oppose cruelty. Dehumanization based on race, ethnicity, gender, economic class, orientation, religion, citizenship status, or national origin is unacceptable.
