It's Time to Reclaim the Flag!
julio 18 2024 – Justin Mickens
There's nothing wrong with patriotism. No single party has a monopoly on loving one's country. Even ShopTYT offers this amazingly patriotic Logo Flag Tank Top. So we are not going to criticize the speakers at the RNC for their vocal displays of affection for America. But that's not all they've been saying. For the past few days, we have heard a very similar “joke” being told from the podium. It goes a little like this, ‘blah blah blah’ ‘something something’ ‘Democrats’ because they can't even tell us what a woman is. The audience laughs. They cheer. They applaud. But the rest of us see this for what it is, bigotry. Do the Republicans love America? Absolutely. But their America is not our America.
To see what the GOP’s America looks like, we present to you Donald Trump’s Agenda 47. Agenda 47 is the GOP’s answer to the now-radioactive Project 2025. It is Trump’s official platform and it outlines all the gross things he plans to do should he seize power again. It contains such gems, such as: dismantling diversity equity and inclusion programs, keeping "men out of women's sports" and deporting “pro-Hamas radicals.” In the agenda's own words, “President Trump will cut federal funding for any school pushing Critical Race Theory, transgender insanity, and other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content on our children—and he will pursue civil rights investigations into any school that engages in race-based discrimination.” Somehow, we doubt that these potential investigations into race-based discrimination will actually help people who are typically the targets of race-based discrimination.
This is the GOP’s America. A place where transgender people are mocked in public. A nation that covers up the uncomfortable truths of history. A country ruled by racism and religion. We may not be able to change their minds on these issues. But that doesn’t mean that we will stand by idly and let them wrap the flag in their nonsense. It’s time to take back patriotism and reclaim the flag for all Americans everywhere.
It will be an uphill battle. But it is worth it. This is our country too. We can be proud of the flag while pushing for positive change. Today you can show off your pride with our Logo Flag Tank Top. It’s perfect for summer hangouts and the occasional direct action. So stop by and check it out.
