“i never said that i admire them”
You said “that(what they did) is what makes America great” and you attacked those who disagree with what they did.
That certainly sounds like you admire them.
But I do not wish to put words in your mouth.
So, please clarify:
Do you admire those who refuse to stand for the National Anthem? Do you admire those who burn, deface and disrespect the American flag?
Do you admire those who say America is racist, etc?
Do you admire BLM?
Are you upset when people disagree with those who do?
I said it was their right to do what they did, and I admire America for being the place that allows them to do it, instead of trying to force them to do something they do not want to do.
That is what makes America great... your attempts at guilt by association is futile, though I respect their right to protest, but abhor their violence.
