If you replace Loyalist with statist, and Patriots with Deplorables, we are right where we started. This OSU posting strikes me as an attempt to prop up globalism and Antifa etc. by making them the heirs of the Loyalist class.
As noted elsewhere, Liberals/Loyalists have made politics their religion...What they really want is liberal Sharia law, a secular theocracy....for them, politics is the means to secular salvation. The minimum wage, gender equality, nationalized health care, and global warming—whatever their practical virtues—are not just expedient policy prescriptions. They are essential aspects of the liberal fatwa...Question them and you are not just wrong—you are a heretic.
Read through the OSU piece and you'll see the linkages between Loyalists and the current left. Problem for them is...they're on the run. I haven't seen fear in the Loyalists (read: media, swamp critters etc.) like this since Reagan fired PATCO.
Therefore...Let us celebrate, fellow Deplorables. Let not our faces be long with #NeverTrumpism or CNN or Antifa denizens or talk of breaking up the country. We are on the ascent.
Our President - a billionaire from Queens - is more like us than any other guy we've had in a LONG time. The future of our Nation - nay, civilization - where we'll always have 20% of the citizenry being chronic whiners, is bright again.
BUMP….
Well said. Let’s be Americans.
The situation was so different, I don’t really see much of a parallel between the loyalists of old and modern liberals.
Well said!
