If you want to read something a little less simplistic I suggest Free to Choose by Milton and Rose Friedman

Trumpism simply passes the taking our stuff on to our grandkids.

Just remember libertarianism is a globalist position.

If you view your country as being imperialistic, racist, and built for the wrong reasons, well, that is NOT patriotic. That is a light from sedition. If you actively fight to bring down the US like many democrats are now doing in the groups of ANTIFA , BLM etc. , that is basically treasonous.

Proof that it was more than a riot besides a CNN talking point? Gun shots? Truckloads of bricks? Bombs? Knife fights? Killings? Fire bombs? Yeah, none of those happened unlike they do almost everytime ANTIFA or BLM start a riot.

I'm a Democrat, I'm a patriot and I love our flag.

I resent the pro-insurrection bozos in lifted pickup trucks flying oversized Trump flags next to Old Glory. You can't love the flag and support the insurrection. It's one or the other.

Where do we go from here as a country?

Very obviously to civil war. Once we win, you won't have to read crap like that any longer.

While I agree with you, it doesn't matter. If they're not speaking up about it, and they continue to vote for candidates which espouse this anti-American ideology, then they just don't matter, in the context of what "Democrats" stand for.

The flag is offensive? Democrat here who apparently didn't get the memo. I just wore a USA Flag graphic tee. I used to have a pair of USA Flag flip flops as well.

Anyone who think the flag stands for a particular political party or person is an idiot. If you think the flag doesn't represent you then as yourself why. Are you an American? Then it represents you. Do you think America sucks and want to tear it down and reimagine it? Then you're right, it will never represent you. Why are you here?

Too many of this nation's elected Democrats hate this nation. When pieces of **** like Rep. Maxine Waters make these asinine and hateful comments, it's a direct reflection on the people in the district who sent her. they too are pieces of ****, America hating freaks. If they aren't then they can vote her out of office for the hateful things she says.
