Are you trying to perform some sort of mental gymnastics here and making the inference that the left is more patriotic than the right? Or even patriotic at all?
Neither side is "patriotic".
Patriotism:
quote:
the quality of being patriotic; devotion to and vigorous support for one's country.
Both sides are not really in support of their country, just themselves. A patriot doesn't whine about having to wear a mask, and act oppressed because because a local business asks people politely to wear one before coming in. A patriot doesn't destroy small businesses and people's homes because of injustices suffered from other groups. A patriot doesn't tell people they cannot protest peacefully or launch gas at peaceful protesters and a patriot doesn't protest violently towards those that afforded them no violence.
Today we are flooded with the sense that waving a flag around, or screaming at a person who disagrees with you, is "patriotic". It's not. It's no "more" or "less" patriotic to ignore the plight of others.
Patriotism is a false narrative these days, trumpeted by groups who don't do anything even remotely patriotic.

Who's doing this?

Is this really the new narrative?
Sorry,I've seen multiple peaceful protests that refused to disperse at the given time before a time or a curfew to dismiss.Are you really implying there's a clear deleniation between between the peaceful and non peaceful protests?
Hint:There isn't

No it really isn't. The left has an amazing way with words and tremendous ability to create gray area where there is none. Conservatives are patriotic and liberals are for anything that pisses them off. They are antagonists, and that is pretty much it. They used to make good music, but not anymore.
It's so funny how the left is against stereotyping unless they are doing it.
The definition of patriot according to skyscreamer, someone who doesn't mind wearing a mask.

There ARE injustices, but the racialization needs to stop. There is zero empirical evidence for racism being behind the killings of Blacks by cops. LINK LINK /

Police brutality IS a huge problem, but it crosses racial lines. We are all Palestinians now, thanks to our cops being trained by Israelis.
