Fight like a Flynn

"Fight like a Flynn" refers to Michael Flynn, a retired U.S. Army lieutenant general and former national security advisor during the Trump administration. Flynn was forced to resign after it was revealed that he had unauthorized communications with Russian diplomats. He was indicted for lying to the FBI but was pardoned by former President Trump in November 2020. Flynn, now a major QAnon influencer, has held speaking engagements across the country, urging Trump supporters to keep fighting for Trump to be reinstated as president and to get involved in local politics. Many QAnon supporters see him as a hero for the cause and use variations of "fight like a Flynn" in their social media posts.
