As of lately, most of the Republican Party loves either inventing words or phrases and hoping that people just go along with it or redefine words to ridiculous meanings. This is how we get to Trump supporters calling themselves patriots. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Here I was thinking that New England’s football team was the worst group of people out there that used the label of patriots. Well, while football teams can call themselves plenty of things that they are not (Rams, Cardinals, Jets, 49ers, etc.), this is a much worse problem.
You see, many Trump supporters are now going to see themselves as groups of chosen ones who are out to save the country from those who, in their mind, are not patriots. But the thing is, by the simple way that we know of defining that word for real, patriots are whoever lives in this country that love this country. This would be people who like it and want to see it succeed.
This, of course, means that Trump supporters are around the furthest things from real patriots. They are against democracy when they do things like storm the capitol or cause plenty of other riots. They aren’t patriots when they can’t accept a duly elected person as president and just straight up to believe very anti-American things that their dear leader had done.
Many
of them have and will continue to believe that they are in favor of this
country while they support the president most known for trying to destroy it
and other countries all while trying to stay in power and destroy the democracy
they are claiming they support.
