11. They don't love their country in the first place.
Just because they wrap themselves in the flag, doesn't mean they love the country.

They *may* love the myth of the way the country was "when it was wonderful" - for rich white males - but that's as close as they ever come to love of country.

They'll never actually be able to love the country, because even if the past is revived, it will still only be a great place for rich, white males - and most Republicans won't fit into that narrow definition, so they'll always need someone to hate (some one to blame) to distract them from the actual fact of their life.
