They’ve hijacked the American flag—turned it into a symbol of whitewashed patriotism, fear, and fascism. But that flag is ours. It belongs to all of us. The working class. The immigrants. The Black, Brown, queer, and poor. The real Americans.
So starting now, we bring the flag back.
Wave it at every protest. Drape it over your shoulders. Let the cameras show the truth: we are not the radicals. We are fighting for America—against the actual extremists tearing it apart.
Do not burn the flag. That’s the imagery they want. That’s the footage they’ll loop to brand us as violent, anti-American agitators. Don’t hand them the narrative.
This isn’t about erasing identity. Fly your flags of culture, resistance, and pride—but don’t abandon the one flag they can’t ignore. Reclaiming the optics means reclaiming the story.
Let the world see American flags clashing with riot cops. Let them ask: why is the government fighting its own people?
This is how we flip the script. This is how we win the narrative war.
Take back the flag. Take back the country.

Honestly agreed. Been ashamed if the American flag for a while now, because it doesn't represent what I thought it did as a child.
