Well, it's not the MAGA folks that are doing the assuming, I'm assuming. Put out your flag, and don't be worried about what others think. It's their problem if they can't handle it.
patriotic ... having or expressing devotion to and vigorous support for one's country. Does love or support of country necessarily make you a Nazi? This is a well known fallacy (affirming the consequent). See below. Btw, I learned this from David Aronson's book "Evidence Based Technical Analysis" ... a great read! All dogs have four legs. It has four legs. Therefore, it's a dog. All Nazis love and support their country. I love and support my country. Therefore, I'm a Nazi.
the MAGA have done a great job of creating the fallacy. They are patriotic and if you aren’t them, you aren’t patriotic. For example, A prolific poster here said I was badmouthing America because I criticized Trump. He also said that I was disrespecting the troops who died for my freedom because I said Trump was corrupt.
patriotism is about the country, not about ignorant ass hats that sit in office for a few years.... learn the difference. supporting trump's policies is not patriotic at all, it just proves your small brain is overactive and easily swayed. Patriotism is about your country above all, including dick-tator like leaders who want adulation and power. Find better role models.
There's several of them here at the forum. For example, MAGA members of this forum will say someone is not a Republican and not patriotic because the person is against the election of convicted felons to the White House as President of the United States. It's the same bullshit that Trump stated about Nikki Haley Republicans who said they were not going to support him. Sadly, Haley's Republicans caved in to the pressure and eventually supported Trump after a pounding of insults from Trump on his Truth Social platform. He even went as far to create a "birther conspiracy theory" about the U.S. citizenship of the former South Carolina governor when he suggested her parents were not U.S. citizens at the time of her birth. At one of his political rallies, Trump stated Haley was not patriotic because she didn't support our U.S. military. After the rally, someone from his campaign schooled him on the fact that Nikki Haley's husband is a U.S. military officer (Major) in the National Guard...he has combat in Afghanistan. Trump would never say that again about Nikki Haley's patriotism or the patriotism of her family but he then reminded everyone of his vow to get rid of being born in the United States makes someone like Haley a natural-born citizen under the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution so that they would be ineligible to be President of the United States. I would argue that being a convicted felon 34x would make someone ineligible to be President of the United States. He took it one step further by saying any Republican who supports Haley should be stripped of their U.S. citizenship especially those who are immigrants. Trump's dog whistle against children of immigrants. Later to throw salt on that wound of Republicans who did not support him, Trump would create a new government agency without the approval of Congress. It's now the go to dog whistle of MAGA when they attack anyone who criticizes the foreign policies or domestic policies of the Trump administration. He then let the person who brainstormed the ideal of DOGE...a Canadian/South African immigrant named Elon Musk with hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts with the U.S. government to lead that new DOGE agency to cause thousands of Americans to lose their jobs...job loss in critical positions that help save American lives. Later saying those who criticize DOGE are un-American (not a word). There's a pattern with these MAGA idiots who are misinformed about who is a patriot to America. Today, they've turned on Elon Musk who arguably was instrumentally in financing and helping Trump to be elected as President to a second term. Trump has recently stated in his tit for tat arguments with Elon Musk they need to take a look at Musk's citizenship to determine if he can be deported. The worst ones here at the forum spreading that misinformed Patriot bullshit are not even Americans and could not verify they're a U.S. citizen the way I did as an American when I posted a redacted images of my U.S. military VHIC card, Illinois drivers license ect cetera. Fortunately, those idiots (most were racist too except for one) are no longer members of this forum after they refuse to post any verification they're a U.S. citizen who has served their country in any way when they accused other members of not being Patriots or not a U.S. citizen in the criticism of Trump. Simply, they use the dog whistle about "not a Patriot" if you do not approve what the Trump administration is doing as their way to attempt to silence you in any debate or conversation you have with other members that do not include them especially the ones who follow you around the forum and post in the threads you're posting in to say they do not read your message posts. In other words, you're not a Patriot if you do not share the same opinions as someone who is MAGA. wrbtrader
It is pretty obvious that you deserved that monster financial hair cut in the past, and clearly didn't learn the right life lessons from it. That's a lot of years to remain willfully ignorant, but you are up to that challenge.
Links to both please, so I can tear to shreds your myopic interpretations of what I wrote for all here to see. I do like the "prolific" part though, thank you... but you're kinda wrong on that one too. "The path to brilliance begins and ends with humility." Write that down Newwurldmn... since you apparently know everything about everything and you are never wrong.
One more thing since I'm feeling benevolent here... Learning is a lifelong pursuit. Write that one down also, because you are obviously just getting started with the journey. You wear your naivety quite well. Should we cover the value of one's word? Why don't you share for all of us here your idea of the meaning of trust. That bridge got burned between you and I didn't it? And even though I said "I accept your apology" as you were backtracking on being a snitch... nevertheless it still speaks volumes about your integrity. You have none, apology or not. You showed your colors. Not that it matters...but you wouldn't last very long hanging out with the folks in America you so portend to be the hero of. Your ass would be wasted for being a snitch in about two seconds flat. But I don't expect you to understand that. View attachment 370376 It's like this bro... colors are colors... and unfortunately for you, this one doesn't start with some sheltered upbringing, ivory tower "people of" precursor. Because those people... they hate snitches worse than I do. Ya know I really hated to go here.... but apparently you feel emboldened so whatever. Just so the rest of you know... anything you share with this man... who in PM's with me liked to say ... "anything we talk about is between us" ... will be instantly passed on to losers like Destriero. Granted, everyone here knows not to share personal info on the net, and of course I shared an absolute bare minimum with NewurldWeasel here... but that was just enough.I tested him, and he failed. So to you Newwurldmn... Trust is a one time gift... you violated that. I gave you one more pass, but you apparently feel froggy. So go ahead and jump, but: A SNITCH IS A SNITCH IS A SNITCH And now the "wurld' knows ~vz in Tennessee (not! )
You can never trust a liberal, they will stab you in the back, rat you out, and sell their own mother if it benefits them. Ive never encountered a more selfish group of people in my life. Stay away from liberals!
