    We are talking past each other and agreeing to the same point. You replied to a post about an allegation of a certain faction not wanting to fly a flag on independence day, with the assumption it has to do with the political faction in power currently. I do think its silly to boycott patriotism on july 4th because of Trump.

    But we both agree - blind patriotism leads to very bad outcomes and blind patriotism to political factions rarely has a good outcome.

    Conservatives and magatards are so focus on outwardly displaying national pride (flag) that they honestly believe that anyone that behaves differently arent patriots. Meanwhile they wear maga hats made by fking China.

    Feel like these folks are mistakening patriotism for nationalism.

    Its akin to the Christians in our country hating on immigrants, being racist as fk, worshipping trump and somehow believe they r good, righteous Christian b/c they actively go to church.

    It would be absolutely the right thing to do if king Trump presents the FIFA World Cup trophy to team USA to celebrate our 250 years anniversary. And woke shiitheads, don’t try to kill him again.

    I don't remember my folks or grandparents ever flying flags. Of course if some (always female) relative or friend wanted to decorate the 4th of July bbq, nobody ever stopped them.

    I do however, look at the folded flags that were on my granddad and dad's coffins every time I walk by them.

    The USA men’s team is good cause the Democrats aren’t in charge. If they were , these dudes would be attempting to compete against women and the women’s team would be thinking they are the men’s team because democrats think people don’t have genders

    LOL, what a low level form of debate -- calling people Nazis. Are you serious? Grade schoolers can put forward better arguments. Republicans are patriotic regardless of the President. Democrats are NEVER patriotic when there's a Republican President -- many threatening to move abroad and most longing for a socialist (non-American) form of government. Socialism has clearly failed Europe, with the USA surging past them in virtually every measurable economic statistic over the last 20 years. Open door immigration has failed Europe and wiped out their high trust society culture.

    As an aside, the Democrat candidate for US Senate in Maine has a Nazi tattoo indicating his 18+ year support for their platform.



    GOOD DAY

    The democrats are also the people who hate Michael Jackson and believed those greedy white kids even though he was found innocent.
    Now that Michael Jackson has taken over again they are all acting like Annie cause they aren’t ok

    The only people that hate America are you MAGA. Yall spent the entire Biden admin spewing Russian propaganda Are we really going pretend you dumbasses didn't fly the American flag upside down as a form of protest under Biden?

    The MAGA supreme court justice literally flew his flag upside down after January 6. You losers don't get to hijack the flag

    Calling Trump your emperor while cos playing as a patriot. This is who you MAGATs are at heart. You cultists have more loyalty to a felon than you do with your country. Thanks for making my entire argument in one post

    Your argument is absurd -- and I mean really, really bad. Liberals view the American flag as hate speech -- and socialists in some European countries actually prohibit waving their own flags at protests! We've all seen liberals burning and trampling flags. The American flag is THE SYMBOL of conservatives -- they proudly display it daily at their house, on their clothing, on their boats, etc. Liberals would never do this because, like fools, they feel ashamed.

    And no one has spewed more Russian propaganda than liberals during Trump's first term (Russian collusion).

    Your IQ is quite low -- and your awareness is even lower amigo! I don't share this to make you feel bad, but rather for you to see it, and then make a commitment to self improvement. You sound angry -- and you cannot persuade people when you are in that headspace. They look and just shake their head. Good news though -- with time and effort, you can improve.


    GOOD DAY

    This is what true patriotism looks like. What a beautiful thing to witness

    Republicans lecturing others about patriotism, yet they refuse to condemn a violent attempt to overthrow the government on January 6th.

    To me, patriotism doesn't mean beating first-responders with an upside down American flag. I guess to Trump supporters - and by proxy, Republicans - it does.
