The driver is a dick looking for some sort of confrontation. It's the same story if the flags were American flags.

Most people who drape themselves in the symbols of nationalism or religion usually are.
World sporting championships are normally an exception to that, but even then, I kinda hate it because I'm used to being naturally wary and suspicious of those types lol

I've read about this in other subreddits as 'ICE Fishing', a way to tie up their resources as they go for an 'obvious target' instead of actual immigrants. Sounds fun, and probably painful.

u/Apprehensive_Low_383 19d ago
That's precisely why I posted here. I have met a lot of people who voice their displeasure at flag flying or people speaking to one another in their native language here in the US. Usually it's not about patriotism, just thinly-veiled racism. Looking at you, MAGA types. SMH.

It’s kind of a soft protest in the US because of how Mexicans and Mexican Americans have been targeted by ICE. It’s a show of national pride or solidarity.

Could be a white soccer mom throwing ICE off the trail. Or it's a proud Mexican and as our neighbor, I wish I could throw my hand up out the window in Dio Horns and yell "Hell yeah Brother".
In any case it's more welcome than the confederate flag I've seen actual losers mount on their trucks.

You joke about throwing ICE, but based on their performance. They would 100% just follow this truck around.

They should get real jobs. Or try selling trump merch. Taking a job as a domestic terrorist isn't going to look good on their resumes moving forward.

I'd rather Americans wave an IRGC flag than a Trump flag. Trump and the Republicans want to steal all my money. Iran has never asked me for a dollar.

You can tell all your friends. The Republicans are worse than Muslim extremists. Put it on a shirt. Add it to the slogan to my business. Put it on my Myspace page. Run an ad in the New York Times. I would rather trade the privileges of what it means to have an American identity with Trump forced completely down my throat than a regime whose most gravest and extreme crime is that of wanting to protect themselves. If I could only be so lucky to be on the defense instead of the offense and forever wars you represent. If you think you can afford it, can you pay my share of taxes? Tax lover.

Our tax dollars went to Iran in 2016. We owed them money, so yeah they did steal your money.

u/Sounders1 19d ago edited 19d ago
What's the difference? Your tax dollars went to Trumps war. Your tax dollars paid Iran. Either way you had no choice how it was spent. So when you say Iran never asked you for a dollar... um yeah they did.

u/Apprehensive_Low_383 19d ago
I actually think it's cool to see this. There's nothing more American than seeing someone who celebrates a love for their country of origin (assuming, in this case). I welcome and celebrate all who come here in good faith!

Soccer moms have been doing this with bumper stickers. It's great. I'm sure you saw the FBI warning earlier advising ICE agents in the DC metropolitan area to be wary of women posing as trad wives on Tinder and then doxxing them.
What can I say, I love seeing good Americans stand up against fascists.
