And they are no better or worse than you.

The difference is in their rewritten narrative of history.

Their ideals of the Gasden Flag and sanctified founding fathers is engineered by the rightwing Koch brother manifesto that the Constitution is about "limiting" government and a magical invisible hand will make everybody who "works hard" rich.

Their mistaken history depends on their ignorance to anything that proves otherwise, yet this is where we must begin.

Take the Gasden Flag, the Don't Tread on Me that is so popular was intended for the conservatives of the day, the crown loyalists.

The Gasden Flag for the colonies was the Join or Die flag that illustrates solidarity. Only after this modern mythology is destroyed will the gun nuts and the rest of us begin to communicate. Everything else is just noise.
