Yesterday WAS Hate America Day

Mike Johnson was right -- yesterday WAS Hate America Day. He just got it backwards: it wasn’t the “No Kings” protesters who hate America -- it's the Republican politicians who do. Classic projection.

The Republicans show their contempt for American democratic institutions and checks-and-balances by systematically undermining them.

They show their disdain for American law by letting ICE run rampant and empowering a strongman-wannabe to creep toward authoritarian rule.

They show how little they care about the American working class by failing to solve our health-care crisis, especially as the government shutdown drags on.

They even marked their “special day” by celebrating a grotesque AI-video of Donald Trump wearing a crown, flying a plane, and dumping sewage on protesters.

That video is the perfect metaphor for their Hate America Day: a celebration of Trump as monarch, abusing his power -- and how little they think of people they deem beneath them.

that you like. You hate America.

When you are willing to dump shit on any of the citizens of these United States, either literally or euphemistically or through misuse of your powers, you hate America.

He only likes the mirror. When he looks in it - he sees something different than we do.

They are not in touch with reality at all.

Trump sees the most handsome, brilliant, talented person on the planet when
he looks in the mirror.

Just weren't violent enough for them. They consider non-violence to be un-American.
