They have constructed a parody of a pro-life movement that does everything it can to strip rights and life away from their fellow Americans.
There is a difference between loving one’s country and the virtue-signaling that defines America’s most toxic misnomer At least three deaths are associated with Patriot Prayer, another pro-Trump gang that staged violent demonstrations across the country.
UNDERMINE DEMOCRACY TRIAL
The trial begins days after the white supremacist group Patriot Front organized a rally in Washington. In Colorado, armed members of the Montezuma County Patriots were charged with harassing participants in a Walk for Justice and Peace. They will proudly recite the pledge of allegiance while demonizing Black Lives Matter protesters, reform-seekers or any movement that promotes liberty and justice for all. These America-mongers perform patriotism while disregarding the actual values of their country. In other words, the principal goal of the so-called Patriot Party is the opposite of democracy. Although these “America first” acolytes claim to want to make their country great again, their real end game is to destroy any semblance of a government where white people’s voting power is equal to their share of the electorate. These legislative acts of voter suppression are largely introduced and passed by adherents to Donald Trump’s “Stop the Steal” movement that now includes a considerable share of the GOP’s constituency. Since the 2020 election, at least 19 states have passed 33 laws that make it harder to vote. The flag-waving hypocrites who proudly proclaim their loyalty to their country are determined to kill America. There is nothing more unpatriotic than someone who calls themself a “patriot”. The Tea Party patriots tossed racial slurs at John Lewis, while at least two people have been killed at rallies organized by the far-right group Patriot Prayer. After he switched parties in protest of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, he was embraced by the new “ lilywhite” Republicans as a “ patriot”. When South Carolina senator Strom Thurmond filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1957, he wondered why the people of the north would pick on the “patriotic” people who simply wanted to preserve white supremacy.
Five years later, the conquered confederacy of traitors would unite to form the Ku Klux Klan, an “institution of chivalry, humanity, mercy and patriotism … noble in sentiment, generous in manhood and patriotic in purpose.”Īlabama governor George Wallace defended segregation as a matter of patriotism. In his 1861 Cornerstone Speech describing the “revolution” that still stands as the bloodiest war in the history of this continent, Confederate States of America vice-president Alexander H Stephens crowed that he had never met “an abler, wiser, a more conservative, deliberate, determined, resolute and patriotic body of men” than those who would rather rip their nation in half than discontinue their for-profit human trafficking enterprise. Nationalism is not the same as patriotism. But fanaticism does not prove one’s devotion. To be clear, there is a difference between loving one’s country and the vainglorious virtue-signaling that defines America’s most self-righteously toxic misnomer. Throughout the course of American history, whenever this country has found itself standing on the unthinkable precipice of ruin, there has always been a horde pledging their allegiance to the flag while clamoring to push the country into the abyss.
