I’m sorry-but what is our President supposed to do for you? Do it for yourselves! 1776 doesn’t have to be a one hit wonder!
Its more symbolic. As a member of the Western world that doesn't live in a country with quite the civil rights that you are blessed with, I can understand the sentiment.
It's the same reason Hong Kong people fly the USA flag, or during tje Arab spring etc. While couched in language and phrasing a bit on the nose. The context of people flying the USA flag who are not American is a call to arms and symbolism of what we'd dearly love.
But as we live in "largely free" countries our countrymen never quite see the importance of rallying for a full set of civil rights like the Bill pf rights you all enjoy. At least until they are fucked over by them.
I can understand flying the American flag. I loved seeing it in Hong Kong. She’s a symbol of hope and freedom for all men—but naming Trump directly in that banner....might be a bridge too far.
Yeah. Badly edited. Seems I deleted a section about trump specifically.
Calling on foreign leaders is a bit shit. I agree
The US has a moral obligation to the rest of the western world. It doesn't take much to lean on our neighbors.
Look at the bottom of the banner WWG1WGA (put on your foil hat to read this one).

All due respect, I believe our moral obligation to the western world was fulfilled during WW2. It’s their turn to take care of themselves. They have not proven themselves to be good friends as noted by the international deep state spying (which I firmly believe happened). If the citizens, pardon me, “subjects “ want freedom, then they need to show the same fortitude our founding fathers did. We provided a way for them-it’s called the Constitution but it’s up to them to determine their own fate. To ask us to do things for them that they won’t do for themselves is morally wrong.
I get what you're saying, but I'm not asking for boots on the ground.... In free countries, we can surely criticize each other openly. You talked about WW2, if history serves it was a lack of action that led to an increase of German aggression. We need leaders like Churchill and not Chamberlain overseeing our foreign policy.
Exactly right-but the people need to demand Churchill, like we did with Trump. Unfortunately, it does not appear that the European system will allow that. As for wwg1wga, I’m not sure I agree with that and I can’t think of any time in history where that’s actually happened on such a large scale...small scale, yes, but worldwide or western worldwide? I don’t know about that.
