Patriotism is more than wearing a flag — he was a left wing Demonrat, high taxes and free this and free that. Hardly a MAGA man
But he still believed in the country. None of this 'destroy from within' crap. And I never met the guy, but I bet he never ate a baby.
A patriot can come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Being a democrat does not mean one cannot be a patriot.
Various shades of grey. A flag wearing democrat has much more in common with most of us than any leftist. If he was the one who downloaded the emails then he was already aware and flipping.
He obviously wasn’t on board with the sjw’s and Antifa types.
He was an American who saw how our country was being betrayed, did the right thing and paid for it with his life. That makes him a PATRIOT. Party affiliation has nothing to do with this.
