Trump is Complete Opposite of a Patriot

Re: “This Patriot Will Vote For Trump”, 1/17/24.

Long before Trump, the far right has commandeered the word “patriot” to mean anyone who agrees with their every dotted “i” and crossed “t”. Now it means anyone who practically worships Donald Trump as if he was Jesus Christ.
But there are some true patriots here: *Mike Pence for fulfilling his oath of office and certifying the election. *Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger who sacrificed their careers to uncover the truth. *Trump insiders Cassidy Hutchinson, Alyssa Farah-Griffin, and Sarah Matthews- courageous young ladies who first confronted the truth within themselves, then told the world. *Candidates Chris Christie and Asa Hutchinson who told the truth about Jan. 6 on the campaign trail. *And those at the DOJ and state election officials who held a goal line stand to preserve our democracy against a wannabe dictator and his ridiculous lie that his election was stolen.
Donald Trump is a traitor to our democracy for what he did on and leading up to January 6. He violated the sacred keystone of a democracy- to bow and salute the declared winner even if he disagreed with the results. He is the complete opposite of a patriot.
