Vote the GOP bums out!
For most of modern political history, the Republican Party has used patriotism an odd and obfuscating sentimentality as a weapon to shame critics of American foreign policy, and turn the general public against dissidents who reject the folly of Empire maintenance through violence. Samuel Johnsons excoriation made famous by Bob Dylan that patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels always seemed accurate in both its denunciation of the manipulative emotion itself, and also of those who take advantage of it for political expediency.
America has collapsed into a prone position, however, where the scoundrels are so brazen in their inhumanity, so bold in their indifference to suffering, and so barbaric in their refusal to compromise for the sake of their own country that only their own language can aptly describe them.
President Donald Trump, his enablers in Congress and his most devoted supporters are anti-American and soft on terrorism.
