Doesn't change the FACT the majority of active and retired military are among the: 90Million Americans who NEVER VOTE in the Presidential Term; 150Million who NEVER vote in the Midterms; 75Million who put Guns, Anti-Abortion Racism Homophobia Misogyny& Ignornance ahead of their kid's healthcare.

I wish that were true. MAGA high jacked our American flag. I didn’t even put little flags in my outdoor flower pots this year fearing what it might mean to others. Trump totally ruined the country’s 250th anniversary.

Yes! you don't praise Communist, dictators and then call yourself a Patriot! The truth is Adam Republicans have betrayed the Constitution. This perversion of theirs of wearing the military on their sleeves at election time, along with the bible thumping is sickening at best!

I always roll my eyes whenever I hear a MAGA cult memory say "If you don't like this country, LEAVE!" whenever you criticize TFG. I don't see those clowns fleeing the country when either Obama or Biden were in the White House, and MAGAts LOVED to criticize them....

I have a US flag hanging in front of my house. I hate the fact that people think I’m MAGA and a Trump supporter because of my flag. I love my country. When did the flag get attached to MAGA? Nothing could be more ironic.

Our government creates our national currency when it pays a soldier Now the soldier can go shopping. Now a shop owner has some government created dollars Etc. We use our national currency to buy stuff, pay our banks back, pay tax & net save a 💵

The so-called "patriotism" of MAGA Republicans is performative in nature. MAGA Republicans support Trump, who is a traitor. Trump will eventually go down in infamy with the likes of Benedict Arnold and Aaron Burr.

Trump and MAGA are *nationalists* (or pretend to be) not patriots. There is a huge difference: Patriot: “My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right.” Nationalist: We are always right and all other countries are inferior and all suck.

A person indicted for espionage & sedition doesn’t own patriotism? And neither does the group responsible for the largest terrorist attack in U.S. history? I’m shocked I tell you, shocked. Will just please admit the GOP is full of shit & has been since long before you were ever elected?

Truth is maga and Trump are the most antipatriotic people in Usa. They are against everything U.S. stands for. Forget the idea them owning patriotism, when they are literally totally opposite.

GOPers made 'patriotism', the Flag, and everything to do with the Military their exclusive preserve in 1992. And it is The United States of America - that seems to have been forgotten as well... All of this was done with straightforward intent by the Republican Party - sorry it's inconvenient now

Damn right! When I wanted to fly the flag, my husband was concerned that people in our neighborhood would think we were MAGA! Anyone who knows me….. know tgat I am anti Trump & MAGA!!I am an American who proudly flies the American flag 🇺🇸! MAGA is the minority in the country and losing members !

Exactly. Somehow, trump has convinced people that being in his cult makes them more patriotic than the rest of us. And neither trump nor his cult understand The Constitution.

Covering everything in flags and eagles, USA chants and being ignorant to the rest of the world. This is what your patriotism means to many of us who are not from there and we're getting very tired of it.

Real patriotism is having the real indigenous Indians in charge of their own country. With some other very younger members of society involved. It will never flourish with the same white, older, fake ass, racist, fascists in charge. Never. As we only see its steady decline & more crooks in the WH 🤬

Judging from their actions alone, MAGA doesn’t own religion either. Wrapping themselves up with the flag while upending the Constitution and clinging to an upside down Bible while ignoring the teachings of Jesus- that’s how they roll. In essence, they’re frauds.

So glad you’re saying and sharing this. I am a proud American with generations of men in my family who served. There are also many of us who work in public service. I will remain patriotic AND that means I will voice my opinions about making us a more perfect union! FLY THE FLAG!

MAGA has not destroyed patriotism on how people feel about our country. They have usurped and tainted all of the symbolism that all americans respected. From our forefathers,history,sporting events,the flag, lives that were sacrificed.Their fervor is an abuse to malign anyone that is not like them.
