Damned meaningless utterance, designed to convince idiots they're voting patriotically.
Every time I've challenged the few RW'ers I have casual relations with to explain in concrete terms exactly what ideas their heroes are supporting I get either:
Meaningless rhetorical shit like 'Merica furst
or
Equally meaningless border security bullshit. Love that one, because they know damn well the politicians that blather that shit have no interest in losing cheap labor. At jobs citizens won't do.
So the fall back position is the ubiquitous "they" are bringing diseases.
The one I have to frequently deal with at work--
I'm getting there. Fact's are starting..... starting... to soak through the brainwashing.
I don't know how far I'll get with it. It is a co-worker, so I have to keep it on the down-low.
He operates from on a simpleton's politico/religious delusion not requiring much cerebral workout.
