1/ Of all the things the left surrendered to the right over the last 40 years, patriotism and morality are the two that have hurt us the most.

2/ The right doesn’t walk it’s talk but the left doesn’t talk it walk, too often sneering at issues of the heart with a condescension that has sent millions of people to the other side of the political divide.

3/ In truth, human beings are hardwired for connection to both tribe & moral sensibility. If you don’t give them a genuine version, they become easy prey for those who are peddling the counterfeit version. Patriotism and public morality are topics that should belong to all of us.

Now, I know you understand what "projection" is. Why are you engaging in it is the question.

Leftwing "patriotism" is how you get LBJ - Great Society in one hand and Vietnam War in the other, unprecedented public assistance to many needy Americans coupled with more bombs dropped than the rest of human history combined. That is unacceptable. Patriotism is mental cancer.

being patriotic in a genocidal settler-colonial apartheid state is immoral, so they can have it imo

Patriotism is bullshit though and is pretty intrinsic to being a right-winger - (also what is there to be patriotic about...?)

Patriotism is just better-branded nationalism, progress means caring equally about people regardless of which invisible lines they live within.

The left and mortality have always had a rather shaky relationship. Remember who created Jim Crow. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Cr… Also, the right has only been as good as they have been forced to be. Also, never forget their rage. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busine…

The left has also surrendered ethics altogether. It used to be the party of the poor and the workers. Until it went over to corporates and a former Presidential candidate called poor workers "deplorables".
