I don’t think he is self aware enough to be credited with ‘discovering’ rather than merely ‘embodying’; but El Presidente has done a pretty solid job of illustrating how nationalism is essentially narcissistic patriotism.
It’s a pity that this illustration is produced by virtue of his being a raging narcissist pandering(probably more sincerely than usual, more’s the pity) to a constituency of unpleasant nationalists; but it’s still a fairly concise demonstration.
Hey Biff, I’m KNEELING RIGHT NOW!
[h/t @Papasan, wherever you are]
Kneeling can be hard on my knees, i will need a few American flags and lyrics of the anthem to cushion me.
Maybe don’t kiss and hug it either, you creepy fucking sex pest.
So all we need to do is get American flags tattooed on our necks and we’ll solve systemic racism and militarized police violence?
Protest is American as apple pie and baseball. Our nation was formed by revolution and its founding document guarantees free expression.
If you don’t like America you are welcome to move somewhere else.

I got these ProKnee pads for work, they are pricey but cheaper than knee surgery
I can kneel all day on these beauties:
The no-kneeling message may not resonate with his Christian base, too close to no praying…
Apparently also good for lounging
ETA: is that guy drinking a beer with a straw???
Can i line it with American flags?
i am willing to bet that he can kneel fine, it’s just the getting up part that he has trouble with. ANYWAY, for the last time, the kneeling is not about the gorram flag, ok??

News Flash: nobody is protesting ‘the flag’, the flag didn’t kneel on an innocent man’s neck until he died.
NEIL KNOWING!
How about you just report when he actually says something that is not utter bullshit?
L.A.P.D. Trump? That’s almost too coincidental.
