A post I saw on Facebook the other day said, " I stand for the flag, I kneel at the cross". My response? I kneel at the flag, I puke at your words.
Authoritarianism mixed with fundamentalism is a helluva drug cocktail.
Right?!?
People that post this nonsense are of a belief that Trump was right on the issue when the idea was to contort "patriotism" so as to not know (or be dumb) on what the kneeling was about in the first place. Trump knew he could turn the meaning because almost everyone likes sports. The appeal was to white nationalism while ignoring facts of too many cops shooting black people.
My amazement comes in as too many of my own relatives are on Trump's side of this. They must be ignorant and blind.
