Being patriotic and loving America isn’t about pining for a past that is long gone, but embracing and appreciating what we are today, and where we are headed in the future. That means loving our diversity, our ingenuity, our compassion. our workers, and a role in the world that is collaborative, not dictatorial. We are not perfect, but we are on the right track. I don’t know what Republicans think of America anymore. Their entire campaign last week was hating on Clinton for her PRIVATE SERVER and begging people to cower under their beds in fear. What a fucking perverted message.
So now the word among pundits is that Democrats have now claimed the mantle of patriotism, as if we didn’t love our country before. But let them say it! Because it means Republicans have surrendered the perception that they owned the flag. Fuck you, you never did, but now, finally, everyone else is starting to realize it.
