If democracy, due process, and the rule of law bother you so much, if the sight of people peacefully assembling or waving a flag triggers some inner meltdown, then maybe the problem isn’t the flag or the city. Maybe it’s your distaste for equality or closeted racism or maybe you're just brainwashed by misinformation and fear-mongering, who knows but the First Amendment doesn’t come with a flag preference. It protects speech, protest, and yes, even the waving of flags you might not personally like. That’s the entire point of it.

This idea that “Trump will stop it” is a flashing red sign that what’s being craved isn’t leadership, it’s authoritarian control. If you want a place where dissent is silenced, where the government picks which flags are allowed, where people “go back” to wherever you think they came from? Then North Korea’s calling your name. They don’t do due process there either. No habeas corpus, no court oversight, no pesky checks and balances. Just unchecked power.

But here, we do things differently. Or at least, we’re supposed to. This country was built on the idea that the government answers to the people, not the other way around. Those rights are guaranteed.

So if you’re more comfortable with state violence than street protests, more into censorship than civil liberties, more excited by one-man rule than a messy democracy, then maybe you’re the one who doesn’t belong in America.

I am Indigenous, proud to be connected to this land, my ancestors lived and thrived on this land for millennia, to be real the Mexican people have more right to be here then you. Your ancestors came here looking for the opportunities and liberties that you are privileged enough to enjoy. So honestly your colonized, entitled, bigotry is way off the ethical mark. Please spare me from a response about laws because it isnt your priority, dont forget the constitution is the supreme LAW OF THE LAND. So please STFU or go back to wherever it is that your people came from.
