Just like they took in stranded travelers after 9/11.
Just like they put blackout curtains up and didn't even turn on a flashlight to heat up a baby bottle during WW II (my mother)
Just like they gave blood and collected metal and went to work.
Just like they served when their country called or supported those who have.
Just like they stood up to Jim Crow.
Just like they fight to make all the votes count, and the neighbors have enough to eat, and clean water... and medical care.
Just like defending our Constitution against domestic threats.
Just like they honor the sacrifices made by so many and educate themselves and respectfully participate in governing.
Basic civic responsibilities that true patriots will gladly engage in.
Even most pathetic of patriots in the of US of A slap on a mask. It's just the smallest most basic of civic requests... and these idiots flapping around screaming can't even be bothered with that.
If they were patriots, they'd quit their bitch'n and put on a fucking mask.

And not even for a buck... just because he's a jealous selfish little shit who can't get past his own 2 faces.
I am harsh yes. But I think it is deserved.
I am related to some of his followers. THEY are wearing masks and respecting distancing and are urging others to do the same. So even amongst the Magats, Commander BS is bottom of the barrel.
Lot of words to say... I agree with you.
