These are core principles of American democracy. But that's okay, they've rejected democracy too. They've come to worship the flag rather than what the flag represents. Just like most of them claim the title "Christian" while rejecting most of the teachings of Christ. It's perversity; it's tribalism; it's that horrible episode of Star Trek with the Yangs and the Kohms.
