20. The unspoken objection to this kind of slogan is.....no one has said they DON'T love America.

Its a very conservative, draconian and dare I say racist interpretation of four congresswomen's criticisms of how improvement can be made on a few issues.

Its laughable if only they'd see it, in that their main slogan is MAGA. Implying that there is something wrong with America that they want to fix. But love it or leave it doesn't apply to themselves.

Not a wise move gratuitous Jul 2019 #1
