It seems trump has corrupted patriotism with jingoism, avarice, and bigotry. GOP and Patriot are pretty much mutually exclusive at this point in the Trump era. Biggly, tremendously sad.

Interesting how strange it felt to watch Dems & Repubs celebrate together, the passage of the prison reform measure. A sight not seen for a long, long time.
