Anyone notice how the U.S is becoming "USA vs Anti-USA", right here in the U.S? ?

[tubby_mcgee 691]

There is more and more of this stuff popping up each day.

Why are the Republicans the ones that have all the pro-USA chants, flags, etc, and the Libs the ones that are anti-USA, "Fvck You America", etc.

Like, when the libs are chanting "Down with the USA", do they realize ummm...what country they live in? And what are they hoping for?

I feel like a lot of Republicans support for America is of the lapel pin / fake patriotism / jingoistic variety. For example the POTUS is a draft dodger who spent a career screwing over small businesses, offshoring jobs and attacking the military service of actual vets, and somehow people think of him as a patriot.

Exactly...

[wiffleball 4,660]

just for context, remember who absolutely owned USA! USA! And the red white and blue and the flag and blah blah blah around 2003 too.

 

and now the Republicans stare at their shoes and pretend like that never happened.

 

 

You know what they say about history.

And you would be wrong, of course. Trump being a supposed draft dodger doesn't take away from the pro-America support. I don't think of Trump as a patriot, either, but someone who - as of right now - is advancing the conservative agenda.

I will grant you that Republicans wear more flag lapel pins and stand up straighter during the anthem. They also love America so much that they trust Russia more than our own intelligence agencies and think Washington is under the control of a deep state Satanic pizza pedo cabal.

 

I guess we have different definitions of patriotism.

How would you know? You're not even a conservative. Yeesh.

[Djgb13 2,338]

Of course idiots use trump as an excuse for why people are being patriotic. They ignore the facts that long before trump people were extremely patriotic. Because thats all they know how to do is ignore facts and history. Ive loved the USA and felt like I hit the lottery being born here. Millions of people felt this way for decades. Its why men werent afraid to lay down their lives for this country. Even for the people who spit in their face for doing so (Im looking at you Sho and MDC). All of a sudden its now *a horrible place to live*. Lets not forget that Obama was in office 8 years and things turned to sh1t under his watch. Things are starting to go back up especially with unemployment rates. Military is being allowed to do their job and getting their biggest pay raise in years.

 

Now you cant even say the pledge of allegiance without someone calling you a racist, white supremacist, or a Nazi. Burn the flag, kneel during the anthem, or paint the president getting his throat slit? All of a sudden thats the thing you need to do to be accepted as American. If America is so bad and you hate it here why not just move? Be the bigger person, pack your sh1t, and leave. I promise we will let you and wont complain. But they wont do that cause they are too chicken sh1t. Only thing they can do is run their mouth.

[wiffleball 4,660]

As usual, we're letting the extremes inform the conversation.

 

They're the nutjobs who are screaming down USA! And there are nut jobs on the other side screaming racist crap. They get all the attention, but I honestly think that the majority of our country follows a bell curve. Most people don't give a about tranny bathrooms or white pride. Most people honor our War veterans, especially the wounded. Most people aren't picking fights with c-list celebrities on Twitter. But again, that is what gets reported.

 

I do think the left is racing to the far left faster then the far-right is to the extreme right. Those fuckers are the ones who are going to guarantee Trump another 4 years somebody doesn't reel their ass in.

 

And it sure as hell won't be Hillary to do so.

You definition of Republicans is incorrect to begin with.

 

6 years ago you guys laughed that Russia was the real enemy of the US. No one trusts Russia despite your claims.

First of all fock you. Second Ive never spit in the face of people who lay down their lives for this country. I have the utmost respect for the service of any member of the military regardless of their political affiliation.

Actions speak louder than words bro. Police lay down their lives all the time for the people of this country and get treated like dirt. Are there some bad ones? Sure. Theres bad people wherever you go. As a whole, cops arent bad people. Ive got friends who are cops. Ive met plenty of nice cops. Lots of different races are cops. Yet they are labeled as racists and spit on. Im not going to go searching cause Im bout done taking a sh1t but youve talked sh1t about cops as a whole. If Im wrong prove me wrong. Ill apologize like an adult and say I was wrong. Thing about people today is they cant ever own up to things and apologize saying they were wrong

I feel he is advancing an America first agenda, not a traditional conservative one.

You said I spit on the service of fallen vets and offer nothing to back it up. Then again you lie about everything from being a doctor to playing college baseball, golfing at Augusta to owning a Yeti cooler and your cars gas mileage. So its not too surprising to see Fibgy drop another lie and then challenge to be dosprove it.

 

Go fock your mother.

[RaiderHaters Revenge 3,622]

sorry lefties, the right is always the side that has been pro military, and the left has always been anti military. That by definition will always make conservatives the patriots in this fight

Youre an absolute clueless lying jagoff. Did not speak my name and then spread more lies about me. Go live a little before running your ignorant mouth more on here

[lickin_starfish 1,500]

Sanctuary cities and "Democratic" Socialism are anti-American. That's why I am supporting the Republicans these days.

 

Maybe someday, if the Dems can stop pushing looney tunes policies, I will vote for them again.

Tariffs, free press ins the enemy of the people, and on and on and in are anti American...thats why real patriots wouldnt support Trump and the current GOP residing in washington.

MDC is of the belief that people can't change what political party they support, despite it happening all the time. He's dumber than Digby and just as much of a liar.

Tarrifs are anti - American? Huh?

[SenatorRock 708]

Most true conservatives would tell you he's not.

Those are called uniparty cucks.

 

Any true conservative loves Trump if for nothing else what he has done to the judicial branch.

[lickin_starfish 1,500]

Tarrifs aren't anti-American, you idiot.

 

Obama spied on and went after reporters, btw. You didn't have a problem with that I bet.

No...those are called people who understand what a conservative actually is.

That's that black privilege that the media and weak minded liberals give out.

Youre not smart.

And yes..tariffs that are hurting our people are anti American by definition.

[lickin_starfish 1,500]

False, you anti-American piece of shiit.

[Hardcore troubadour 12,843]

Shonuff thinks that Germany should put a 10 % tarriffs on our cars and we should only put a 2.5 % tarriff on theirs for some reason. I guess because he's such a great American. Angela Merkel disagrees, and has said Germany will be lowering theirs. MAGA.

[Sho Nuff 720]

 

False, you anti-American piece of shiit.

You are lying...sad how you all try to claim people as anti American for not supporting your policies that are hurting actual Americans.

[lickin_starfish 1,500]

You mean like sanctuary cities?

[Sho Nuff 720]

Deflect deflect deflect

[tanatastic 2,061]

Pro USA symbolism and imigary is for sure being responded to differently since the election. For example, you see a car with flags and pro USA or American slogans and stuff and anti trump people associate it with being pro Trump and think of it negatively even if theres no MAGA stuff.

[lickin_starfish 1,500]

And yes..tariffs that are hurting our people are anti American by definition.

 

Deflect, deflect, deflect.

I think people can change their political affiliation.
