Time was, as the old saying goes, politics ended at the shoreline, Americans closed ranks and united to oppose the threat of foreign aggressors and foreign policy was a bi-partisan exercise. No longer. Now, the right-wing, led by the likes of Sean Hannity, constantly belittles and berates an American president even as he squares off against and attempts to deter the growing aggressiveness of a belligerent Vladimir Putin.
While Fox talking heads profess to abhor Mr. Putin they persistently praise him and his autocratic ways even as they support a man, Donald Trump, who would end democracy in the United States. Patriotism, as defined by the Right, has taken on a strange new meaning.
