Disagreeeing with president is not hatred of America

In response to "Hostility on display" by Robert Chmela of Elgin, Sat. July 20, 2019:

I'm beyond amazed that you would imply that because we don't support the "president," that we therefore hate America. Wow. Let me repeat that. Wow.

We love America. We definitely do not approve of Trump for about 10,000 reasons, all of which by now you've been thoroughly brainwashed to deny. For the time being, we are free to opine, unless of course your "president" gets his wish and turns the presidency into a full-blown dictatorship. God forbid should anyone criticize your king.

Trump was right about one thing, however. He could shoot someone in Time Square in broad daylight and Trumpists would find a way to deny, forgive, justify, then blame Hillary, who we don't even think about anymore because we never sold our souls to her like you all did to Trump.

We love America. We love the office of the president. We do not approve of Trump because he is anything but American.

Trumpists pander and perpetuate the word hate and the fake news that unless we too blindly follow this inept "president", we are the haters. We are not the haters. We love America. Look in the mirror, or better yet, attend the next Trump Self Aggrandizement and Ego Stroking Rally, and you'll see the vile orange-tinted source of hate.
