      The voting block appeased by this particular initiative would be Christian conservatives. The real ghouls need to be named.

        No he’s not. He’s doing what the United States does exactly as it was designed.

        The United States always has been an exclusionary, racist, classist, sexist, and LGBTQ-phobic settler-colonial project. The principles patriots claim to be the governing values of the United States are in opposition to the reality of the project.

        If patriots want to actually create a society based on their stated values, then the United States needs to be dismantled as a prerequisite. Put simply, the real values of the United States are the maintenance of capitalism and white supremacy. If your values are even slightly in opposition to that, then the United States will crush you once it begins to notice your presence.

        But in order for patriots to actually live their stated values without contradictions, patriots need to throw off the chains of their own patriotism…which lays bare the fact that so many remaining patriots actually do secretly like the openly oppressive parts of the system that they would otherwise claim to hate in polite company.
