Guard AGAINST the Imposters

True patriotism means standing up for the values and principles that make our country great, including equal justice, and respect for all human rights.

The phrase "Guard Against The Imposters of Pretended Patriotism" was coined by George Washington in his Farewell Address in 1796. It is a warning against individuals who use the guise of patriotism to further their own interests, rather than acting in the best interest of the country as a whole.

Individuals like Trump and the MAGARATS pretend to be patriots by waving flags, wearing red, white, and blue, and talking about how much they love America. However, their actions often contradict their words. For example, Trump has repeatedly attacked the free press, which is a cornerstone of American democracy. He has also cozied up to dictators like Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un. And he has incited violence against his political opponents.

True patriotism is about more than just waving flags and saying you love your country. It's about standing up for the values that make America great, like democracy, freedom, and equality. It's about defending our country from its enemies, both foreign and domestic. And it's about working to make America a better place for all its citizens.

Trump and the MAGARATS do not represent true patriotism. They are a threat to our democracy and our way of life. We must reject their false patriotism and stand up for the values that have always made America great.

It is also important to remember that patriotism does not mean blind loyalty to a particular leader or political party. Instead, it means holding our elected officials accountable and working together to build a better future for all Americans, regardless of their political beliefs or affiliations. By guarding against the imposters of pretended patriotism, we can ensure that our country remains strong and united, and that our democratic institutions continue to thrive.
