We should start waving flags too.

Why do the fascists get to be the only ones with flag stickers, and flags at their hatefests?

BLM, and all of the Biden rallies, any liberal protest in fact. All should start waving the American flag. We are far more representative of what this country is supposed to stand for than the racist fascist scum on MF45's side.

I notice this, every time there are pictures online or videos, and in the news, all the flags are on one side. That gives the wrong subliminal impression to viewers who don't pay attention to politics.

They stole the use of the American flag, we need to take it back and wave flags right next to the great and witty signs we already have.

... and excite the fervor of Nationalism.

Just look at the red Nazi flags used at parades and plastered on the buildings where ever Hitler was or spoke. It was used to evoke higher and higher levels of German Nationalism.
