We had a situation evolve at my small local no kings. After an hour chilling, a trump supporter pulled up in a truck, unloaded a giant MAGA flag and planted himself right in the middle of the group. He was non violent, said very little, and mostly just stood there.

The supervising police would not remove him, and told us he had “the same right to be there that we have”.

Obviously we were all quite uncomfortable having this shit flag overshadowing us, but no one was sure what could be done about it, so we sucked it up and continued on as if he wasn’t there.

How would you have handled this situation? Is there anytime that can be done in the future to prevent this?

Ps Fuck trump and his cult.

        There are unironic nazis today, so yes it applies.

        Poes Law means that no matter how ridiculous a satyrical stance is there is at least one person who actually truly holds that stance.

        Just like how some uninformed leftists unironically embrace the Commie Moniker, I bet people on the right are cheering on the taste of boots.
