This is probably my most "conservative" opinion

30. The teDUMP brand of patriotism is nauseating.

The ones who act like Fascists - but are sure to march around with a Chinese made AmeriKKKan flag on their left lapel to "prove" their patriotic bona fides.

Same goes with the sisters and brothers comprised of Christo-Fascists claiming to prove their Christian Nationalism bona fides with a fake golden cross of Jesus - likely again made in China. But they are so proud to march around and display to the public that they are Born Again devout followers of Jesus.

But if they bumped into Jesus while he was giving one of his sermons,... they would run off and gather a mob of their violence prone friends. Returning to the reveal tent where Jesus spoke. Then drag him outside and stone him until dead for condoning inclusivity, diversity, and human kindness.

It gets to the point where uttering the Pledge of Alleigence is a mind shameful and boggling endeavor. This is where we proclaim freedom and justice for all. But we have no fucking intentions to honor that commitment.

A country where liars and cheats like djt, Fux Snuz, dearly departed Rush Limbaugh amongst many many othersè are permitted to hide behind the First Ammendment of Free Speech Rights. While they incessantly dish out right-wing propaganda which is distorting and fabricating reality and tearing our country apart. But they get a pass from our government and our courts to crank out more propaganda while being waved on by because Freedom of Speech permits and encourages them to do so and there is nothing that can be done about it.

Then when half the population refuses to vote and becomes hyper cynical - we can find no rhyme or reason for this degree of voter apathy. As our system of Democratic governance swirls around the drain of Fascism, until there is no Democracy left any more. We had it -but we lost it - because we were to tangled up in institutionalized protocols, congressional decorum, and respect for our brothers and sisters on the opposite side of the aisle - while they savagely ripped the carpet of Democracy right out from under us. While they parked the USA in the cesspool of dictators despots, and authoritarianism. As the billionaires and oligarchs proceed to divide anything of value remaining in America among themselves.

Everyone else can just go take a hike.

The laws of diminishing confidence.
The only thing that lies ahead for us, our children, and our

grand-children is a much bleaker tomorrow. We must put a halt to this cascading rampage of greed and gluttony by the richer class.
