The GOP needs to quit wrapping themselves in the American flag. The GOP does not represent America.

1. Wrapping yourself in a flag

and carrying a cross does not define what a true American is.

I almost threw up yesterday when that POS was hugging the flag, he is such a POS/con job.

4. That's why they Wrap themselves in our Flag..

They're patriots in name only. trump wouldn't be there if it weren't for Russia and their enablers. Meanwhile they're killing off everything that is good about America and the Planet.. and sucking up all the spoils.

5. Trump likes the flag but not what it represents

He has more empathy for American flags than he does for any people.

7. I'm surprised he has not had the flag redone in gold threads. n/t

6. But Democrats need to quit rejecting it.

When we disparage the flag or the country in aggregate, because of the actions of a subset which (as you point out) do not represent America, we hand patriotism to the Republicans as a message. That doesn't play well with a subset of the voters we're trying to win back.

8. Yep! Well said!!!

9. They keep doing it because it works

it rallies a good part of their base and it makes it harder for the media to question their motives.

10. And much as with the cross and bible.

[NewJeffCT]

11. was it Sinclair that said

if fascism comes to America, it will be waving the flag and holding the bible (or the cross) or something like that

12. Yes, I believe so. And we have savior tRump leading the charge with his cult.
