President Trump Uses Hate to Bolster Patriotism
American Thinker ^ | August 23,2018 | Steve Schiller

Posted on 08/23/2018 12:10:24 PM PDT by Hojczyk

Politicians on the left and their cronies in the media, in their constant denigration of the president, have made fun of and dismissed the MAGA slogan, with some pundits equating it with genocide and white nationalism. Now Andrew Cuomo, the governor of New York, has stated that America never was that great to begin with, ignoring the progress that's been made historically.

What do all these examples (and trust me: there were tons more) have in common? They communicate to the average everyday American, who works hard and still loves this country, that the left and the media are anti-American. We want open borders, let everyone in even if they're criminals, drugs can't be stopped, disrespecting our National Anthem is okay because it's racist, and trying to make America great again is a horrible idea and must end.

How could things have gotten this way? The answer is simple when you think about it. Donald Trump was savvy enough not only to use the intense hatred directed against him to maneuver the left into these untenable positions, but also to reveal the left's agenda and methods to the country. As a whole, America is center-right and still very much patriotic. We see what the left and the media are doing, and we don't care for it.

Some experts think a blue wave is coming in November. Some say it may be a red wave. If I know this country, I suspect that it will be a red, white, and blue wave.

I eagerly wait for what “Trumpisms” come our way.

Linguistic kill shots, framed for the mid term elections.

Positives, and negatives.

Special sauce for Un-American Leftists.

No - he’s got it right but it’s better stated as-

President Trump uses the leftists hate to bolster patriotism.

I agree. Abysmal choice of title. Counterproductive for the author.

President Trump uses the leftists’ hate to bolster patriotism.

True - but I’m on a smartphone and exact punctuation in the face of stupid AC is difficult. :)

Why are you posting this propaganda on Free Republic?

The only hate that’s happening is coming from Black Lives Matter and AntiFa, and the Democrat party.Police officers now are at war with them, and are in danger of being shot in every sanctuary city in the USA.Its the same with ICE. Enforcing the law is not “hatred.”

Do not talk to me about Trump promoting hatred. He is telling truth to danger and disorder.And Trump is making the People aware of the Liberal fascist movement at the DOJ and FBI as well. And all the Dem rag tag opposition has is propaganda like this bull shit article by Schiller, a flaming leftist.

You want to understand the shit you have posted. read the context here:

Re: Cuomo (since I missed the boat), I’d like people to note not just the “never that great”, but the “not going to make America great again” prior.

So, not only do they think little of America, but they deliberately don’t want to help make it great?

The issue is simple really. Trump identified with the interests of hardworking American citizens and to date has not pursued or defended any special interest. Everyone else is on the game trying to sucker the American people to support a special interest, ripping off the taxpayer. None of them can admit that and since they cannot find a rational argument for defending the indefensible, they go berserk.
