#riptrump trends as Anonymous shares petition to change American flag and national anthem: 'This is bada**'
President Donald Trump's administration has come under fire for various reasons recently. Even before the nation could recover from the prevailing global health crisis, the tragic death of Geroge Floyd only made the situation worse as Black Lives Matter protests and riots spread across the country like wildfire.
And now, a portion of the population, who like to refer to themselves as Generation Z, have started a petition on Change.org demanding a change of the national anthem and flag of the USA. It has already received over one million signatures and counting. The petition states that the current flag is "outdated, doesn't portray a good message, and quite frankly, is ugly looking".
The new proposed design for the flag has the red stripes replaced with yellow, which remind Generation Z of Wiz Khalifa's 'Black and Yellow'. On the corner left, the stars have been replaced with the cartoon character Manny Heffley from 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid', a representation of the Black Lives Matter and also symbolizes unity, justice and being unproblematic.
With new colors for the flag, it only makes sense for the national anthem to be changed to an incredible masterpiece that brings back nostalgia to many members of the most competent and loving generation on the planet: Black and Yellow by Wiz Khalifa, the petition added.
The petition garnered further attention when international hacktivist group Anonymous took to Twitter to share it. Posting the link to the petition they tweeted, "We need 1,000,000 signatures to change the US flag and national anthem. Almost there. #mannyflag #Mannyflag2020 #opFanCam #riptrump"
Soon, Twitteratti appeared on the platform to trend #riptrump in the light of the new petition, implying that the end of his term is nearing. Reacting to the new flag, one user wrote, "This flag is bada**. Don't even try me... also manny is an unproblematic king unlike someone #riptrump." Another added, "While I don’t condone making light of the social justice movement, I think it's so F**KING BADA** how united the younger generations are. Like, for us to be able to trend the manny flag and #riptrump..so quickly??? WE ARE SO POWERFUL!!!"
It seems like Gen Z is preparing itself to bring the new flag to life on the 4th of July. One Twitter user wrote, "In the orange man's honor we will be flying the new flag and playing the new national anthem until the 4th of July. don't forget to wear your black and yellow to show your support of the Manny #riptrump #ripdonaldtrump #themannyflag #themanny."
