I’ve been thinking about this amped up conservative rhetoric that liberals and leftists hate America. We all know that’s BS. Right? Except it’s not, and we should respond to it for what it is.
“I love an America I grew up in. I love an America I believe in, that I lived most of my life in. Now, the idea of America that you’re fighting and “winning” for is killing that America I live in, that I love. So you’re right. I hate what you imagine America to be… because it is trying to murder the America that I love. And I don’t use the word “murder” lightly, and I apply it to you. And if that means to you that I hate America… then you’re right! The America you believe in isn’t lovable.”
That’s all.
Also self defense, defense of allies, often humanitarian missions. You’re flat out wrong here.
Who’s realistically going to attack the US? Afghanistan and Iraq weren’t self-defense, there’s no argument for justifying them.
What is it about the US that makes it so unassailable?
