Omar also has a track record of bad mouthing this nation, and saying Anti American stuff
Lots of politicians AND non-politicians do that. Every single Atlas poster including you does that. You love your country but it's FAR from.perfect, and you want / expect more out of it.
So how does it work inside of your head? When a conservative person, or white person, or christian person or person with no foreign accent criticizes the country, it's "them patriotically wanting to save and improve the country"?
And then when a liberal person, or non-white person, or non-christian persom, or person with a foreign accent criticizes the country, it's "bad mouthing this nation, saying anti American stuff, and unpatriotic or even treasonous"?To judge from their actions and public statements, to Republicans, "America" is a synonym for 'white supremacist, oligarchic, fake-Christian patriarchy' (preferably slapped with cheap coat of red, white and blue paint, along with some gilt). Anything that doesn't support those ideals, be it tolerance, democracy, freedom, etc, isn't 'real America' to Republicans.
