It's pretty easy to see that they don't.I have been on this site a few years now and have read tens of thousands of posts from right wingers. Maybe more. However, for the life of me I can’t recall a post from a right winger about actually liking America.
So here is my question. Do right wingers actually ‘like’ America?
Do they like its:
Do they feel patriotic paying their taxes to strengthen the country? Or do they hate it all? It’s diversity, people, cities, freedom, speech, laws, and duties like paying taxes? Based on posts here, I really can’t tell if they like this place. It is a constant caricature of failed civics and decaying blight that I dont see in this country where I travel extensively.
- Diversity?
- People?
- Great cities?
- Unparalleled art?
- Roaring industry?
- Unmatched Federal Park system?
- Freedom of, and from religion?
- Free speech, which includes the right to criticize other’s speech?
- Rule of Law?
- Accountability of leaders?
I do know they like their flag merch. But do they like the country? Jury is out.
Not too long ago Damon Linker profiled conservative intellectuals whose writings, he argued, helps explain where the MAGA right is coming from. If you read the works he cited you’d see the dire portrait they paint of the state of our nation. I don’t think they like it here.
