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.

    Eh you handled it right for that situation. He was there hoping someone would start a fight so he could shoot back and claim “leftist violence”. No reaction and ignoring them like a child having a tantrum is right.

      Actually, it is supposed to be a dilemma position. You get called a coward-lib if you don’t react and a dirty violent immigrant if you do.
