Yeah, and footage of burning an American flag outside the capital is the quickest way to harden anyone potentially waiving to jerk back. Like it or not, the protesters just gave an excuse for Dems to not shift gears, for the GOP to get even more ridiculous with their support and try to support a flag burning amendment. So all that they did was give an excuse for DC to ignore Gaza and debate a flag burning amendment instead. Oh, and the GOP is doing to double down with mass deportation rhetoric now, too. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. ... Copied to Clipboard!

This moves the public discourse needle only in distractionary (amendment debate) or harmful (pro-Gaza = anti-American) ways to the movement. You have a zero percent chance of stopping people from protesting. What you have to recognize is that there are things the democratic party can control and things they can't. The media is going to put forward an anti-Democrat line no matter what. Protestors are going to protest injustices no matter what. If both parties take the same line, that the protestors are wrong and bad and that Israel rules, the only one that actually wins from that is the Republicans, because they are seen as the more "pro-Israel" party and always will be, and the Democrats just conceded that they are actually correct and that genocide is fine and cool, and the only difference is that Democrats are more waffle-y about their support of Israel, even though both parties admit that the right thing to do is to 100% support Israel. There is no winning the race to the bottom against the Republicans on issues. --- Disobedience is the stamp of the hero. -Ragnar Redbeard Also, this is Kagata.. ... Copied to Clipboard!

CrimsonGear80 posted... in what way, exactly? The imagery of people burning US flags and putting up Palestine flags is an easy talking point for conservatives. Gotta remember that Trump supporters stormed the capitol on January 6th just because Trump and republicans lied to them about the election being stolen and never showed any actual evidence supporting it at all. Some of those people didn't even vote, but stormed the capitol any way. I'm worried about conservatives using this to drive voter turnout in their favor even higher, even if a small portion of Republicans don't like Trump. --- https://i.imgtc.com/d9Fc4Qq.gif https://i.imgtc.com/BKHTxYq.gif https://i.imgtc.com/vYYIuDx.jpg ...

The media is going to put forward an anti-Democrat line no matter what. Protestors are going to protest injustices no matter what. I missed the part where burning American flags and giving an easy excuse to ignore the core problem of Israeli war crimes in Gaza were helpful. Of course protests are inevitable, and people should protest. But if the end result is merely doing stuff that helps the side you're protesting or make less likely to get others to support you, the protest fucked up. How many Palestinians were killed today? Probably hundreds. What will the media and politicians be talking about instead? A burnt flag. Congrats, the protestors that burned the flag vented for twenty seconds and gave the powers that be ample excuse ignore their concerns for weeks. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. ...

The problem isn't lack of attention, the problem is lack of caring. I don't see how burning flags helps with that, other than to make the protestors look like the kind of people who burn American flags.
