    Forget it, you must not be American, so you dont understand anything about America.

    America and the Constitution are essentially the same thing, and you are demanding to know the emotional connection to a person’s own nation. It’s called Patriotism, and its why every Olympic medalist, from any country, gets choked up when they stand on the podium, as they represent their country in front of the entire world, as their national anthem plays.

    That’s all. All citizens generally love their country, unless they’ve been fed a steady diet of propaganda which has twisted their minds into believing that destroying the country they love is somehow patriotism. Like them, you obviously don’t understand the true concept of Patriotism.

    And I am not interested in my message landing with MAGAs. They are ignorant, weak-minded, susceptible to obvious propaganda, and have no critical thinking skills. I have long given up on persuading them. They are now simply in the way, and should stay out of the way as we take back our government, or suffer the same consequences as the MAGANazi leadership is going suffer.

    And by the way, you disengenuously QUOTED me as saying that they have “violated the EULA of their job,” which is a phrase I never said, and don’t agree with. Their oath of office is not a EULA, it is an OATH, and it carried legal obligations and responsibilities that can land you in prison if they are violated. Or at least it’s supposed to work that way, if the Dems had any spine at all to play Hard Ball, and enforce the law.

      not american

      I’m not, but I was born there, and only been out a couple times.

      essentially the same thing

      okay, so why does ‘america’ matter to people in their actual daily life? like, drive this home. this is what matters. do you just have flag fucker bullshit, an abstraction that never actually means anything to most people who aren’t frothing fascists? something basically nobody under 40 has been proud of a single time in our lives?

      love their country

      how is it mine, dude? what about it is mine? where is my mark? except on its face where I had to punch it that one time? make me care in 180 characters or less. then link that to the price of eggs or something in the same amount of space.

      an EULA is different from an oath

      okay, how? EULA’s do all the things you said, in theory. you’re making it sound like EULA’s are the more serious of the two by very very far

      if the dems had any spine at all

      they do. remember how viciously they ratfuck every progressive? they have plenty of spine. they’re just okay with this

      would enforce the law

      they have. they just enforced the actual law, what the laws are actually for, not the fairytale bullshit they tell the cattle.

      I don’t get who your target audience is here. all the hardcore flag fuckers are 1. mostly disingenuous and 2. on the other side of this.

          sure, I just… I want you to be effective here. I think most people don’t actually believe in anything, my stuff or yours. I’d rather they buy my stuff, but if they buy yours… that’s fine I guess. I just want it to actually work.
