It doesn't show dried blood stains and it's slimming.

Besides, it indicates mourning for our country that's been taken over by a bunch of Russian mobsters and their US pawns.

Think of the sea of pink hats from the women's march. Although their logo was navy, red, and white.

...fought and bled in the name of that flag they figured they had more than earned the right. I joined them simply as an American citizen, since it is mine by right of birth and I was not going to cede it to *holes. Some of my friends carried a pole with 2 flags, the other one being either the UN flag or (my choice) Earth from space.

This Resistance is different. People may end up making different choices.

And the traitors keep choosing other flags to gather 'round so I think that since we are really patriots and honor the Constitution, Old Glory should be it, really with, perhaps, a colored armband or something.

Since 'The Resistance' is such a diverse collection of people and causes, I rather like the idea of diversity in colors too.

Republicans and right leaning Independents who want to reject Trump, because they place country over party, can show that by wearing purple (blend of red and blue.) Though not officially partisan - pink is the color of our side in resistance.

We should make banners combining both - they look good together.
