I’ve been thinking about this amped up conservative rhetoric that liberals and leftists hate America. We all know that’s BS. Right? Except it’s not, and we should respond to it for what it is.

“I love an America I grew up in. I love an America I believe in, that I lived most of my life in. Now, the idea of America that you’re fighting and “winning” for is killing that America I live in, that I love. So you’re right. I hate what you imagine America to be… because it is trying to murder the America that I love. And I don’t use the word “murder” lightly, and I apply it to you. And if that means to you that I hate America… then you’re right! The America you believe in isn’t lovable.”

That’s all.

    But you have to be careful, because they will happily edit all that down to just,

    I hate America… you’re right!

    And use that to justify to their base why you deserve whatever they do to you.

    • Yeah, fuck ‘em, they’re gonna do that no matter what. The trick is to be loud and proud enough that people hear our message directly, and can compare it to the gutless liars’ version.
