How Patriotic Can You Get?

How Patriotic Can You Get?

by John Hinderaker in 2024 ElectionDemocratsKamala HarrisTim Walz

Every four years, Democrats decide it is OK to be patriotic. Thus, from this morning’s New York Times newsletter. The headline: “Harris’s muscular patriotism”:

“Only in America,” Harris said, as the Philadelphia crowd burst into a chant of “U.S.A.! U.S.A.!”

This sort of unabashed patriotism doesn’t always come naturally to today’s Democratic Party. But it has been central to Harris’s presidential campaign. In her ads and speeches, she portrays herself as a tough, populist, progressive patriot.

It has made a difference, too.

Because all “unabashed patriots” think we don’t need borders. Tim Walz is a patriot, too, according to the Times. That is why he honeymooned in Communist China–Walz is much like Bernie Sanders, only more mean-spirited–one of 30 or more trips he has taken to that bastion of neighborliness. Walz doesn’t hide his enthusiasm for Communism:

“[Communism] means that everyone is the same and everyone shares,” Walz said during a lesson on China’s communist system in November 1991. “The doctor and the construction worker make the same. The Chinese government and the place they work for provide housing and 14 kg or about 30 pounds of rice per month. They get food and housing.”

How patriotic can you get? The Democrats are counting on their belief that 51% of us are idiots. And who knows? They may be right.
