The “Left” is not some homogeneous group that can be pigeonholed as some here keep attempting. Lots of folks in the left are patriotic, they just value the Constitution and Bill of Rights without all the play-acting that has been just mentioned. Sure, quite a few nutjobs the closer you get to the fringes (as in any large group), but on the whole I don’t see it. Define the character of the group you belong to and temper the urge to paint the others with a broad brush. Except MAGAs, screw them 😀.
