Why South Korean protesters are using U.S. flags and a pro-Trump slogan
Briefly

In an unusual turn of events, American political symbols have resurfaced in South Korea's political landscape, merging domestic protests with echoes of U.S. political turmoil, particularly among supporters of President Yoon.
The display of 'Stop the Steal' reflects the adoption of Trump-era rhetoric by Yoon's supporters, drawing parallels between their narratives around electoral integrity and the current climate in South Korea.
Criticism aimed at Yoon's recent actions, including martial law, has led to a dramatic confrontation not only politically but symbolically, as American symbols are invoked to critique governance.
The Virginia state motto 'sic semper tyrannis' became a rallying cry against perceived tyranny by President Yoon, showcasing how local symbols can gain international relevance in global political discourse.
