Let’s be honest. Democrats are now the nation’s biggest patriots. It’s tough being a conservative and loving America. We’ve had eight years of an African American president who has wound down the GOP’s last two wars, and avoided two big ones in Iran and Syria. Republicans need their wars to give meaning to their lives.
The Black Lives Matter movement is empowering African Americans and putting militaristic law enforcement on the defensive. It’s getting harder and harder to get away with rank profiling and abuse of communities of color. We have a long way to go, but the progress we’ve seen is tough for conservatives to swallow. Brown people should shut up and remain subjugated. For “unity” of course.
We have marriage equality! And not just same-sex marriage, but the movement for transgendered rights now has majority approval among Americans. Their version of Jesus has a problem with it, even if real Jesus would clearly side with the nation’s liberal majority. This gives them a major sad.
Can anyone say Obamacare?
And the demographics, oh the demographics. America is turning browner, with Asians, Latinos, and African Americans growing rapidly as a percentage of the nation’s population. Fewer people are owning guns. Fewer people are attending church regularly. Less and less of our population lives in rural areas. Our nation’s youth is more favorably disposed toward socialism and collective solutions to our problems.
And now, the first woman president will follow the first black president, and she is a Clinton! She hasn’t just promised to follow in President Barack Obama’s footsteps, but to fight for an even more progressive America.
So yeah, there’s a reason why Republicans are no longer motivated to chant U-S-A anymore. They no longer support America, because America no longer looks like them, no longer thinks like them, and no longer hates like them.
