See All the Mexican Flags At 'No Kings' Events? Mexican Voters Just Made That Look Even Worse
 
 
Thank a lefty today, America. Why, you ask? Well, we have no kings today. Granted, we had no kings in the interim between July 4, 1776, and this weekend, but a bunch of purple-haired keffiyeh-clad popinjays made sure of that with "No Kings" protests across the nation. Whew. That was a close one, America.
 
Yes, apparently, we're led to believe that these American patriots took to the streets this weekend to both protest democratically elected President Donald Trump and a parade meant to mark the 250th anniversary of our civilian-controlled U.S. Army, but they did it by 1) burning American flags, 2) flying the American flag upside-down, or 3) flying the Mexican flag.

And this wasn't just a few people flying the Mexican tricolor:
 
This last one, I have to admit, was a strange one in my book: Not only did Mexico have a literal monarchy as late as 1867 -- when Habsburg Maximilian I was deposed from the throne -- but was pretty much a one-party state under the PRI, or Partido Revolucionario Institucional, until 2000.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
