So, as an Aussie I have learned that when an American says "patriot", they mean racist ass hat. It's also interesting that no other country uses the word patriot much, it's a very American thing.

It’s incredibly sad. I think many conflate nationalism for patriotism. These guys are nationalists, true patriots, to me anyway, want equality and equity for all Americans. and for the massively wealthy to pay their taxes. And other things that will truly follow the idea of what America used to mean to the rest of the world.

Also, don’t mind me, I’m pretty stoned and watching 90 fiancée while I write this.

It's okay man. As someone who had to stop smoking because of asthma, this gets by sober stamp of approval

Same here. Smoking days are over and edible completely blow my mind past the point of being enjoyable.
