Is this what a patriot looks like?

[frigidweirdo]

American patriots come in different racial lineages, income strata, sexes, and sexual preferences. The one thing that unites patriots is their belief that the United States Constitution and its Bill of Rights, remains the best document ever created for a government and its people.
Any person trying to blow up and kill people on the right or left are fringe, unstable and not indicative of your normal patriotic American.
An exception are those that kill in the name of Allah/Islam. They are preached from childhood, hatred towards all non-believers who refuse to convert to Islam.
They are neither fringe nor mentally unstable, just filled with hatred from their so-called holy book.

Er... I'm betting if I found a person who A) claimed to be a "patriot" and B) was honest, would say that they don't support the US Constitution in full.

Why? Well, look at Donald "let's ignore the 14th Amendment" Trump.
Let's look at those who abuse the Second Amendment and claims it protects things it doesn't.

And anyone who looks at the mess the US electoral system is in, would realize that Proportional Representation is a much, MUCH better electoral system.

So, I think you're not talking sense here.

But I guess your "tigger word" is "trigger"... I don't get triggered, I don't expect anything from anyone on this board. I don't expect good debates, I don't expect knowledge, I don't expect people to be smart about their choices. So nothing triggers me.

Anyone who posted that dribble as a thread, is triggered. Hate to break it you.

 

[Arlette]

What?

Trumpy refers to his cult as patriots and J6 thugs as political prisoners. Patriot is just a word now. It doesn't mean anything.

Fuck off, have a nice day, you're on ignore.

Well, it means something... but it's so politically charged and doesn't mean what it actually means when they use it. Like "woke"...

I think patriotic is your trigger word.

I think Trumper MAGA doesn’t have a clue what patriotism is.

 

[frigidweirdo]

I think Trumper MAGA doesn’t have a clue what patriotism is.

The things they "know" but can't articulate because they don't actually know it, and it save face, will say they do, but then find excuses for why they don't have to articulate themselves.

The man who was killed and blown up was a Green Beret.
He had a coin.

 

[konradv]

It isn’t just war. Try again!

 

[The Duke]

It isn’t just war. Try again!

Are you saying it isn't a just war, comrade? What war?
Somebody just killed one of our Green Berets and blew him and a Cybertruck up.
Oh, in front of one of the president's buldings.
This is an internal thing, probably leads back to our own government, or Democrats, or sleeper muzzie cells.
Russia didn't do this. Russia's doing pretty bad, but they didn't do this.
There's nothing saying this man wasn't snatched and murdered to do this.
To me that's what it looks like, too.

All terrorists think of themselves as "patriots".

Stupid even for you. I doubt any Islamists think of themselves as patriots.

So, apparently Matthew Livelsberger was a super "patriot". Patriotic because he posted "patriotic" messages on Facebook, patriotic because he served in the special forces and patriotic because he loved Trump.

A patriot loves their country. Matthew Livelsberger put a bomb in his car and tried to kill people, but for some reason failed, but still injured seven people.

Luckily he was less of a "patriot" than Timothy McVeigh who killed 167 people in Oklahoma. A war veteran like Livelsberger, and thought patriotism would take place by trying to make a revolution.

Had McVeigh been alive today, he'd have been posting pro-Trump stuff all over Facebook too, why? Because he was a "super patriot" too.

Somebody can look a certain way and not actually be it

Stop judging people by their appearance

He was dead before the truck was detonated.

See, totally triggered..

Well, this thread did not go the way OP and the AP hoped it would.

Not so. People can have "gripes". Mental illness could make those "gripes" much worse. We have a judgmental society now. with a professional media not trusted much anymore. And with social media chiming in it may help to trigger individuals.

 

[scruffy]

He was dead before the truck was detonated.

"Before" is a loaded word.

How long before? Hours? Or seconds?

Maybe he shot himself, slumping head hit the detonator, boom. Did they find the suicide weapon?

Or maybe, someone planted his dead body in the car then blew it up. Was he right handed, and was the head shot from the right or left?

I'm just sayin, it's kinda hard to shoot yourself in the head and then blow a truck up.
With not really explosive material that you know how to work with.
And the material used is not usually in your wheelhouse.

Benny Johnson reported and showed screen shots of his donations to Act Blue, super democrat fund, under two different addresses. Real maga?..lol

You are pretty smart.
I'm not buying it.
