Another of the typical right wing false equivalencies, people do not "h**e" all white people, it's just the ones that are bigots, and by no means are all white people bigots. The same all inclusive language gets applied to "hating" christians like it's all christians...no, it's not all christians people have a problem with, it's just the h**eful ones who use their religion as an excuse to h**e on and persecute other people. People on the left are far too tolerant of others to lump h**eful bigots with their skin color or religious beliefs. People are simply done with r****m and bigotry...and anyone who is a true christian would understand that.

Funny by the lower strata, one would tend to think that would mean the people who were a weight on the taxpayers, such as those on welfare and food stamps and other forms of public assistance. That doesn’t sound like the typical Trump supporter to me. I know I am not in that category.

I have been self employed most of my adult life and have never taken a penny in government assistance, unemployment or any handouts in my life. I also have never v**ed for a democrat in my adult life. I v**ed proudly for Donald Trump and despite the democrats best efforts to take my right away to do so a second time, I will proudly cast my v**e for him again.

This serves to make the point that we are seeing examples of what patriotism is not by example of alternative patriots that are no more patriots than their alternative christian counterpart knows what it is to be a christian.

Alternative patriots fit a profile that will try to tell someone else they are not a patriot for a plethora of "reasons" that have absolutely nothing to do with patriotism or being one. They point a finger at someone on the left and say "you are not a patriot because....."
...you do not support this (fill in the superlative) president so you do not love this country
...you do not love this country because you are against (fill in the thing you are against the president on)
...you have not fought for this country, nevermind that they haven't either...and oops, you did?

And I still can't sort out the mother of all unpatriotic things, supporting Russia and Putin because trump does...what is that.

Patriots have a deep seated mistrust of Russia and particularly Putin...Russia has always been our adversary if not enemy, and those lines have been blurred by cyber attacks and our proxy war in Afghanistan in which we destroyed them financially. Obama gave heavy consideration to declaring cyber attacks and e******n meddling acts of war right before trump took office. We had placed significant sanctions on them, as well as taking away two enclaves here. Trump comes in and calls Putin his Komrade and his blind alt patriotic acolytes see no reason to keep an eye on the myriad of places where we will be seeing a conflict in which Putin is allied with everyone we consider adversaries?

Anyone still supporting trump needs a TP tattooed on their foreheads so we can know we have a Trump patriot in our presence. (that's rhetoric, lighten up...I don't really believe that)
