You now have two pokemon you can summon. MLK and Obama.
You aren't going to get a satisfying answer from an individual who is ecstatic about fascism and all of the evils it represents.

Nothing says patriotism like a privileged rich kid growing up without sacrificing a thing for his country and dodging the draft.
But he employs some people so he's the best American ever.

That one eventually worked for me, but the other one wouldn't and the number of people it showed as having signed it went DOWN at one point.

He's white, though. The most important aspect.

It's obviously a massive factor. But I don't think it's wrong to say the effects of it or how big of an impact it has are overstated.
Even the most favorable map shouldn't make the difference between the GOP winning 64 house seats and it being impossible for Dems to pick up 21 seats in 2018.
The house is winnable. I just hope people thinking "it's hopeless cause gerrymandering" isn't a narrative that depresses turnout in two years

Not here to pile on but I honestly don't understand this point of view.
Obama's clearest message in his campaign was a singular united states, and of working across the aisle, and you could see it in his proposals which incorporated a lot (too much) of what Republicans had claimed they were fighting for.
I saw their brand of so-called patriotism very clearly.
Trump has not campaigned upon unity, and its not reflected in his proposals (the few we know anything at all about) or in his cabinet picks.
Can you define 'patriotism'? I believe you may be mistaking it for something else.
Don't forget Ali and how he transcended race.

There is almost nobody standing at the side of the roads. Are the people further along the route or something?
Sincerely apologize, googling the word before using it would have been useful, I did not realize it's true meaning.
Likely.
I don't get how you can watch Obama especially over the last few months and think he doesn't have more patriotism flowing through every ounce of his body than Trump could ever dream of possessing. He believes in this country more than anyone I know.

Yeah, but going from 8 years of class and eloquence to... well, whatever the fuck this is. Guess us dirty foreigners should keep our opinions to ourselves anyways. I mean shit, I'll never understand how "Grab her by the pussy" didn't sink him.

State lines aren't gerrymandered
We have to be more patriotic. You know, so patriotic we don't have time to be prejudiced. Hug that flag until you don't mind that your fellow citizens are being shot dead in the streets, and that American Muslims are being persecuted and scapegoated, and that your fellow Americans who are same sex inclined stand to have their rights rolled back.
Bleed red, white, and blue, while your fellow Americans just bleed. America first; you first.
If you thought that Bill Clinton gif was the highlight of this thread... think again...

Kids realizing they don't have to say the Pledge of Allegiance everyday and people not standing for the National Anthem really triggers conservatives. "Return to patriotism" means "Now there will be consequences." Trump was very close to Roy Cohn so don't be surprised if we see investigations into liberals because they aren't patriotic enough.

Sad!
Don't forget to make sure every stands for the national anthem at sporting events or else.

"Patriotism" is a word which here means "beating your chest loudly about how much you love white people running your country."

Correct. State legislatures draw the lines every 10 years. Republican or Democratic controlled legislatures gerrymander to favor themselves respectively. A reminder that all politics are local.
Some of the misinformation being thrown around on this stuff is concerning. Who needs fake news when many people willingly and openly spread falsehoods as fact.
I just hope Trump supporters pay attention to what he says and does over the next 4 years. I know I'm not going to convince you that you voted wrong, but if you pay attention I can only hope he'll either fulfill your wishes or that you'll actually see him for what he is.
I think you're confused with nationalism.

I can't recall a Democrat doing something like this in recent memory, but it seems to be a staple for Republicans moving forward. Good times ahead.
Maybe that investigation includes Trumps, pretty sure a president with ties to Russia is more worthy of investigating than insecure server use but what do I know, just a librul here.

It's strange. I called a Trump victory a year ago and yet it's still kinda surreal that it's happened.
