(36,693 posts)They know what it's about but they try to make it about patriotism.
Unfortunately for them, patriotism is about Americans not the government or the flag. It's about the freedoms we have fought wars over and our military defends with their lives. It's about the freedom to live without fear of your government.
Black lives matter more than any flag.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
