This dude is representative of all Rump supporters. They may not all wear racist shirts. They may not all voice their opinions openly. But this is the GOP (and specifically the Rump) platform spelled out plainly for all to see. This is what Rump supporters voted for. This is what they truly believe in. Speaking personally, I would rather not "reach out" to them; I would rather they crawl back under their rocks and hide like the snowflakes they are.
So you want to reach out? Start with this guy.

John Daly on President Donald Trump: 'He's doing a hell of a job'
http://www.golf.com/tours-news/2017/05/24/john-daly-donald-trump-hes-doing-hell-job
What's that you are wearing for pants, John? Is that the flag? Guess you are just showing how patriotic you are! No violation of the flag code there!
So the upshot of this is, if you are a white man and support the Rump, you can wear the flag as a way to show how patriotic you are. If you are black, well, let's face it, you're screwed ten ways from Sunday. This anthem/flag business is a way to assert dominance over a minority. There is no other excuse for this BS.

John Daly on President Donald Trump: 'He's doing a hell of a job'

Daly and President Donald Trump became fast friends after they first played golf together in 1992. Speaking at a press conference at the Senior PGA Championship at Trump National Golf Club, Daly was asked by USA Today to assess his buddy's presidential performance thus far, and Daly, as he does so often on the course, did not hold back.
"I love what he's doing for our country," he said. “I think people need to get on his wagon and ride with him and let him do what he's doing and leave him alone. It's not going to change for at least, you know, this year and three more.”
"So, it just seems like the Democrats always have a problem when a Republican gets in office. Republicans seem to kind of put up with the Democrats sometimes, we just go along with it. But I think they just need to leave him alone and let him do what he's doing. I think he's doing a hell of a job. I really do."

Example 2: I'm an American Patriot!
Example 3: I'm confused!
It should be perfectly obvious what these "real Americans" equate with "patriotism". Their bellering about "patriotism" is cover for racist bullshit beliefs. I have no sympathy for their butt hurt. They can go to hell.
