True patriots don’t put loyalty to their political party above their love of America.

True patriots don’t support an attempted coup.

It’s time to stop letting Republicans claim the mantle of patriotism. They’ve done nothing to deserve it.

Republicans Don’t Own Patriotism | Robert Reich

@rbreich - they can claim the mantle & take credit for NEGATING every patriotic act for the last 200 hundred years. So, there's something to hang their damn red hat on.
@rbreich And their Supreme Leader Donald Trump is leading their parade.
@rbreich I’ve seen them referring to themselves as magadonians rather than Americans. I just consider them lost at this point. It makes it easier when they say they want to put us in trains.
@rbreich most love Putin, that's all you need to know.
@rbreich It really and truly boggles my mind. I don't know how anyone can view the events of Jan 6 and not call it a violent insurrection and an attack on our form of government.
@rbreich Not all Republicans are what is seen in the media especially Fox News. We the silent majority do not vote along party lines every time. We vote for the best candidate even if they are independent and our vote seems wasted- it is not.

@LittleTears @rbreich

For the sake of polling statistics, please change your registration to "No Party Preference" so everyone can see how repulsive the #MAGARepublican agenda is.

When polls show 100% of #Republicans a) prefer a mother's death over medical advice, b) legalised system racism to benefit #WhitePeople, c) economic incentives for the rich and penalties for the poor, d) #ReligiousFreedom for white #Christians but no one else, and d) letting the planet die maybe they'll get a clue.

@AnonymooseGuy @rbreich If I was in an open primary state I would have long ago. Some of us choose to try and send the least destructive candidate to the general election and if they are not best amongst the finalist they loose my vote. Change from within...

@LittleTears @rbreich

Fair enough. But there's no (as far as I know) no limitations on how frequently you can change your registration.

Remember, the "voter statistics" the media reports is us. We can disrupt their narrative.

@rbreich

You cannot love a country if you do not love the people who make up that country.

You cannot love a country if you do not love the ideals that country was founded on.

True patriots love ALL Americans and will fight to defend their rights.

True patriots love the idea of freedom for ALL, not just wealthy, white, Christian males.

Hating half the people of America and loving authoritarianism/oppression/oligarchy is the OPPOSITE of patriotic

There's a difference between Nationalism and Patriotism.
@rbreich we should also call it what it is, nationalism.

@rbreich

Will some pro-democracy PAC please, please, please, get @rbreich videos on every network channel everywhere?

Please?

Inside the House GOP’s plan to go after FBI and DOJ

Republicans are escalating a multi-pronged fight against their two biggest political boogeymen. It goes far beyond just trying to impeach Attorney General Merrick Garland.

@rbreich i don't know what i'm to be patriotic about. Mass killings, massive income inequality, racism, violence.
