Aaron Sorkin wrote a monologue in The American President that sums up my feelings on the manner pretty well:
*“The symbol of your country cannot just be a flag. The symbol also has to be one of its citizens exercising her right to burn that flag in protest.“*
Unless you live in a dictatorship, your government should hold up to robust criticism. That’s the whole point of having an official opposition in parliament.

Never in the history of the United States have we ever had a president who regularly insults and belittles common citizens. Call or bullying. Call it petty. I call his conduct trashy.
Standing up to a bully is absolutely patriotic.

Thanks, Bruce. We have at least one brave singer to speak out against the power.

A real patriot holds his country to a high standard and wants it to be as good as it can. Why would we settle for less?

A true patriot will defend his country from its government.

We all have the constitutional right to express our opinions about our government, and that includes criticism.

Yup, we’re *all* supposed to be critical patriots, that’s how things get better.

Bruce is a true patriot. The funny part is watching all the MAGAs blast Born in the USA on July 4th, not realizing that it’s really a commentary/story about being fucked over by the US govt.

Conservatives: “A true patriot bows and scrapes before our lord and savior Trump and only does as told without question. He is our king and should be treated as such.”

People who blindly support authoritarianism are the same kind of people who would have stayed loyal to the King at the founding of this country.
