During the No Kings protest it seemed like people were really bothered by Mexican flags being waved at the protests. Lots of comments about how we should all be waving American flags. However, today in Alaska there were more Ukraine flags than US flags and not one peep about optics.
That whole optics debate was utter nonsense and we should be just as supportive of Mexico as we are for Ukraine or any other country Trump thinks he can bully.

Waving a Mexican flag seems like cheering for a different team than your home city. It shouldn't feel like that, it should be fine, but it seems just a little strange if you are not Mexican, and a little disloyal somehow if you are.
Waving a Ukrainian flag at Putin seems like cheering for your team against one of your rivals.
Something like that. I can't articulate it how I want to. But it makes sense to me.
I think this time it's fine because of how angry it perceeves to make Putin
I don't think OP is knows what this meeting about
Ignorance. Hopefully somebody on reddit explains it.
So, what, Mexican flags weren't relevant? Thats the point, dingus.
Are you being dense?
No, dumbass, you are.
If you don't see the difference between the two, that's speaks to your poor understanding and education about both events.
You can't even articulate a coherent position beyond having a melt down online over acomment challenging your poor understanding of the topic you pretending to discuss.
"Meltdown" lol you think too highly of yourself
