Well said! I am sick and tired of them turning around the meaning of words into oppositional bull crap. You are so right and you gave me words I needed today to stay in the battle. Thanks, Leigh! You are a light seeping into the otherwise dimly lit room.
This country was created specifically to defend against kings/dictators. Therefore the only thing more *Un-American* than supporting a wannabe dictator is actually being one.
Ambrose Bierce amended that: "Patriotism is the FIRST refuge of a scoundrel." Same thing with the use of the word "hero". If everybody is deemed a hero, nobody is.
Often misunderstood. Johnson meant that a scoundrel will try all other avenues before resorting to (false?) patriotism, not that patriotism is itself bad. In the UK, we do not feel the need to invoke 'patriotism' very much, perhaps because we feel less insecure. What the GOP calls 'patriotism', we would call 'Jingoism', which is not a good thing, and often goes hand-in-hand with Chauvinism in its origional ethnic sense.
Patriotism doesn't show in empty symbols and rituals, but in standing up for values and actions that foster the common good. It also allows for civil discourse about what the common good is without demonizing different views while being firm.
I am a patriot . I am antifascist. I guess that makes me antifa. Proud to be an American love my country. Love my flag respect my president and the people I live with and around. I don’t care your color or religion. I am antifa. 💙 VOTE BLUE THROUGH AND THROUGH💙 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Many on the right think that antifa is an organization, when in reality its just sound morals. An ideology that is against fascism in all its forms. To me, being anti fascist is about as patriotic as someone can be. When i argue with those on the right about how literally anyone in the world that is against fascism is antifa by default(because the word is merely an abbreviation of anti fascism)they never know what to say, try and deflect to something else, or use examples of some individuals that are against fascism but have committed crimes to support their hyperbole. Nobodys perfect, regardless of what people believe in. True American patriots are against fascism, racism, and nationalism trying to take over this country and tear it apart. We should never forget the mistakes of the past in not taking these threats seriously.
Thank you!!!! I’ve said the same thing since I’ve heard people, who I wouldn’t trust as far as I could throw them, using that word to describe themselves.
Kyle tried to save a couple stores, Man. He stood up! He is the 'Rights' Greta Thunberg. 22 years. That's tough to do. Alot of rules. You really had to have your mind right. Only about 17 % make it to retirement. 25 % gets washed out the first hitch.
He shot an unarmed man. The irony is, when you ask MAGATs if there were any "weapons" at Jan 6, they'll say NOOOOO! There were knives and spears and clubs and jagged, broken shields, but there were NO WEAPONS THERE! And in the very next breath, when you ask them if Kyle "weepy b*tch" Rittenhouse was justified in shooting a man holding nothing but a skateboard, they'll say that that skateboard was a deadly weapon. It's mind-bogglingly stupid, and SO quintessentially Trumptardian.
@@smokingjoe9864. Kyle is a dumb kid who made a bad decision after watching too many movies. Noone gets to take the law into their own hands. There's a reason there's a justice system. It's what separates us from the wild west.
It disgusts me how the 45 followers have distorted the word Patriot. I had a kid come up to me once and asked me if I was a patriot I immediately knew right away that his parents had taught him that if you're a patriot that means you're a Donald Trump follower. So I am a patriot of America and when someone asks you that you have to Choose Wisely how you answer because if they are a Kool-Aid Drinker then you say you're a patriot they'll assume you're a 45 follower. And if you don't say you're a patriot then your anti-American oh my God what has this country come to!
Yes, and it's not new. The pre party-flip confederate party had _hit ler_ as one of it's greatest admirer's. The bigoted portion of the U.S. is an exporter of that political ideal.
I used to be a patriot, then the idea of patriotism was twisted and manipulated to suit the GOP. Now I consider myself an embarrassed American. Embarrassed by trump and the GOP
I would think the best course of action is not to be embarrassed, but to be embolden to fight for our democracy...for our freedoms...for our constitution...for our country. MAGA and future like movements must be defeated with real truths, love of country via unity of other like-minded Americans... that stand up for democracy, the righteous and law abiding citizens, while caring for the weak and less fortunate. May be with you.
No... Still a patriot, just not using the re-definition by radicalized extremists. Their definition aligns with the Holocaust eight decades ago. Any attempt to start something like that here... Won't be pretty. The giant is only sleeping.
I so agree with you!! Every freaking point you made was spot on. I have come to despise the word Patriot since 45 came onto the scene along with his flag hugging bs. And calling insurrectionists patriots as well. Until he’s gone from this earth I can’t use the word again unless I’m referring to someone in uniform or someone who served this country in the Armed Forces.
Take the word back. They are the exact opposite of _Patriots_ in every single way. This country was literally founded to defend against kings/dictators. There is nothing more *Un-American* nor less Patriotic than supporting a wannabe dictator.
Patriotism, like love, is not worn on the sleeve , or a t-shirt, a hat, or displayed as a flag on the back window of a truck. Patriotism is carried in the heart, protected and treasured. So that when you need it, it’s ready and waiting.
So glad you picked this topic Leagh! I couldn't agree with you more.... the words Patriot and hero are thrown around so loosely the last few years that they really don't mean much of anything anymore. Your messages are so very important to the country, please keep going as I look forward to hearing those messages from you.
I appreciate you trying to educate the ignorant but sometimes ignorance is bliss.I appreciate everything you’re trying to accomplish and I support you wholeheartedly
I have always considered myself a Patriot. I define that word as a person who works to make the country one that lives up to the standards set up in our founding documents. Like making "liberty and JUSTICE for all", "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness", 'bodily automony" apply to every person in this country.
I always thought of myself as a patriot, until maga! Thank you, Politics Girl, for explaining what a real patriot is! 💙vote Blue to save our democracy 💙
Thanks for this. That is what I was thinking, they have patriot plastered on trump merch🤷😵💫. ... most cant logically use reason, but try asking one of them what the word means😂 they will become very self defensive and fall flat on their face. Try letting voters decide the election !😮
I've never had the need to continuously fly the American flag in order to prove my patriotism; mostly because I've never given anyone any reason to question it.
Sorry for your health issues. I forgot to say that on the script cost topic. I admire the way you express your outlook. :) I have often tried to explain the difference between "patriotism" and "nationalism", with limited success.
also, become a precinct officer and a delegate. it's easy, free, and doesn't take much time, you'll probably need to know how to use Zoom. i live in hawaii and have been a delegate since 2018. make a difference. it takes very little time! i get to vote more often than regular people, and help to table bills and select progressive chairpeople, so do it. i spend a couple hours a month being a local politician ! do it!!
by 'free', some money is involved, but i easily got sponsors to cover the two hundred dollars in fees for the privilege of voting more often, for things that matter...
As a retired military veteran, I completely and totally agree. We were willing to give the ultimate for the US Constitution, I don't know what happened to those veterans who lost there way and got suckered into the MAGA mentality.
There are now two working definitions of "patriot". 1. A person who believes and supports The Constitution as it is actually written. And 2. Those who believe that it should be open to personal interpretations to make it support what THEY want it to mean. I go with number one. People like Kyle and those who support him, go with number two.
I've got so many words in my head that I probably shouldn't say so thank you for speaking my thoughts in an appropriate way!!!! I will say though that those you speak of don't believe in what I thought of America while growing up, FREEDOM FOR ALL!!!! I'm 31 so it pisses me off that even a couple of million Americans don't believe that ALL Americans should have freedom. They just believe a certain group of Americans should have ALL the freedoms.
I am a Venezuelan born in 1947, that means that I knew the country where I was born and I am also a witness to the Venezuelan tragedy due to what I call the narcoroborevolutionary mob. I currently reside in the United States since all my children and grandchildren are here for the same reason that I came in 2019. The word immigrant, in the Venezuelan case, does not apply, the word that applies is refugees. As the end of my presentation, I have known this country since 1964 and I have come for studies and tourism on several occasions long before 2019. I make this introduction because for some time now, watching your videos, I have realized something and I write this because of the last one I saw (Are You a Patriot): what is happening now in the United States is like a mirror of what has happened in Venezuela since 1999. I cannot get involved in politics because I am not a citizen, yet, but I hope that the people in the US understand that they are in a real danger if they continue supporting these extremisms. Your videos are very instructive and keep going...
I agree with everything she said. I was raised to understand patiot also mean beief in your Country and proud to be an American. For that reason I will never vote Republican again.
Thank you, PoliticsGirl, for your good work. Your presentations are always crystal clear and persuasive. We in the United States needs more patriots like you.
Thank you for saying what my husband and I say and agree with on daily basis. "Who the hell are they to claim to be so called Patriots and think can also take over the Flag.' Real Patriots do not conduct themselves in that manner. Were all chocking on th e complete hypocracy. Continue speaking the truth for so many of us.💞
I agree 100%. Very well said. I am a democrat, a veteran, and I support the constitution. I don't support fascist dictatorships or Christian nationalist theocracies, and I don't give aid and comfort to Russian dictators. I am the patriot. The same thing has been done to the term Christian. I am also tired of seeing the flag desecrated with a would-be dictator's face or an assault weapon, or the colors worn to anti American events.
