And check out the three N's in piece below, helps explain a lot of the American right, the so called conservative follower of today.

Bye bye Donnie.

"What is patriotism? Let us begin with what patriotism is not. It is not patriotic to dodge the draft and to mock war heroes and their families. It is not patriotic to discriminate against active-duty members of the armed forces in one's companies, or to campaign to keep disabled veterans away from one's property. It is not patriotic to compare one's search for sexual partners in New York with the military service in Vietnam that one has dodged. It is not patriotic to avoid paying taxes, especially when American working families do pay. It is not patriotic to ask those working, taxpaying American families to finance one's own presidential campaign, and then to spend their contributions in one's own companies. It is not patriotic to admire foreign dictators. It is not patriotic to cultivate a relationship with Muammar Gaddafi; or to say that Bashar al-Assad and Vladimir Putin are superior leaders. It is not patriotic to call upon Russia to intervene in an American presidential election. It is not patriotic to cite Russian propaganda at rallies." Timothy Snyder
Do you imagine that this is really a thoughtful, neutral observation?

Or might it be more accurate to describe it, instead, as a piece of propaganda--replete with hate?

(Oh, by the way, it is almost five years old now--from April 2016--which is before Donald Trump even won the 2016 presidential election.)
