One of the many unique and disgusting features of today’s GOP is that they don’t back down when they make a mistake, regardless of how obvious and indefensible that mistake may be.

Doubling Down

To paraphrase the late American historian Howard Zinn:

If you’re, say, Norway, and you don’t go around the world starting wars, patriotism and a sense of national pride is not a problem.  If you’re the United States, with your imperialism and incredible military might, it’s a huge problem.  

At left we see the ideas of two other historian/philosophers on the subject.

Nationalism

My personal reaction to Trump flags is more of pity than offense.  Life is tough enough without being deprived of a moral compass and even a meager level of intelligence.

In any case, we see such displays in ever-decreasing numbers, as Trump’s approval rating continues to fall, due to the president’s cognitive decline and brazen criminality.

Offended By Trump Flags?
