The author TRIES to be snotty and dismissive, but she ends up nailing what President in Exile Trump is all about and why he makes MILLIONS of us feel good about America, much to the distress of the Socialist Democrats.

“It [the Flag] goes from being a source of unity to a source of division,” Mr. Wilentz said. “All of a sudden the left and the Democrats basically cede the flag to the right, and the right picks that up and runs with it.” President Ronald Reagan, who was also known for his red ties (though they were generally seen as representing the Republican Party) being a case in point. Still, no one has run further with it than Mr. Trump.
“The flag embodies everything he wants to get across,” Mr. Wilentz said. “He is the flag, and everyone else is not. We are America, and everyone else is not.”

One side burns the flag. The other does not
One side spit on American soldiers and called them baby killers. The other side does not
One side continually claims “America is a racist nation!” The other side sees people for what they are
It’s pretty simple

The Conservative right dearly loves the Star Spangled Banner, flag of the United States of America...
The Liberal left dearly loves the Rainbow Flag, the flag of the Perverted Mentally Ill America...
