    Ever since the chomo-in-chief sent terrorists into DC on J6, he and just about every other conservative have been using the word “insurrectionist” incorrectly.

        I’ve been a political dissident since I was first taught American history. Even the indoctrination heavy Midwest version could not explain to a child why a government that turns on its allies and tortures its own was worthy of my allegiance let alone my respect.

          I got in trouble for not standing or pledging allegiance to the flag as a kid. I stuck to it and they backed off. And that was before I even understood how wrong it was to pledge allegiance to a flag and republic instead of the constitution and laws of the nation.

        Fuck that noise. I consider people like myself the real patriots. I won’t let these assholes take that from me.
