The concept of "Patriotism" has been stolen from us

White supremacists, led by an orange topped madman, have hijacked the very idea of patriotism.

To them, the only patriotism that exists is the second amendment.

So far they've gotten away with it. They fantasize about a return to an America that existed before the Civil War. Sounds crazy, but look at their "heroes." To put it bluntly, slavery is just fine with them.

Most of us know better. Most of us know the meaning of patriotism. And a group of ignorant, despicable rabble have stolen the word and are using it to murder American democracy.

They must be stopped. But who's going to do it? And when?
