I'm sorry, but WTF is the "Doctrine of Patriotism", again?

I'd love President Asshole to get that question at his Press Conference today.

I truly don't know what Steven Miller meant. It probably means something dumb like "Murka Furst", but is there actually a doctrine?

Anne Frank would have come to America. Hundreds of thousands of children would have been spared. America would have been blessed with cures for diseases, plays, novels, great businesses. America First killed that. 1939 is here again.

it a way of being in the KKK without needing to wear a sheet.

See, only dumb, old, angry white Retrumplican clowns like Donnie "Fungus Dick" are "patriotic".

If you happen to support Democrats, or are a person of color...fuck you - you're the "enemy of the state".

I'm beginning to think that our country will not survive this.
