The Point of the 2024 Democratic National Convention was to Rehabilitate the Anti-American Image of Their Party

“they suddenly want us to believe they’re all about freedom, God, family, and love of country”

If you watched the Democratic National Convention this week, you may have noticed a departure from their conventions of years gone by. Speakers emerged on the stage with Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Born in the USA’ playing in the background. People were waving American flags and chanting ‘USA!’ as if they were hardcore America-loving conservatives.

Harris’s running mate was presented as a veteran who loves family, football, beer, and America.

None of this was a coincidence, and none of it happened by accident.

Democrats seem to have figured out that millions of Americans see them as flag-burning, America-hating, radicals. The stagecraft of the entire convention was an attempt to rewrite that history and present Democrats as patriots.

Van Jones of CNN gave the game away.

From FOX News:

Van Jones suggests Republicans have a ‘cheaper patriotism’ than Democrats’ ‘deeper,’ ‘muscular patriotism’

CNN commentator Van Jones seemingly suggested Wednesday that Republicans have a “cheaper patriotism” while Democrats have a “deeper” and more “muscular” devotion to their country.

“I feel like there’s a distinction between what I would call a cheaper patriotism and a deeper patriotism. This is a deeper patriotism here, it‘s not just the rah-rah stuff,” Jones said on CNN reacting to night three of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

“They are asserting that the value of freedom is not just the freedom to not pay your taxes or the freedom to say get off my lawn, it‘s the freedom to live a full life,” he continued, “and to be able to live a full life, we need each other, we need smart government.”

“I haven‘t seen so many ‘USA, USA’ [chants]…there is a muscular patriotism associated with Kamala Harris. There’s a musculature to what she’s saying. She wants to fight, she’s not afraid. She wants to fight for this. [She says] ;I believe in this country, I believe in this particular vision of freedom and I am going to fight for it.’ And I think that’s a very interesting new combination that I haven’t seen before.”

Watch this clip:

This is theater.

And while that was going on in the convention, the party’s base voters were up to their usual antics right outside the hall.

CNN’s right-leaning pundit Scott Jennings made the point perfectly, saying “These American flags were sort of startling to me. Normally you guys are burning these things.”

For years now, Democrats have been telling Americans that our flag is offensive, our national anthem is racist song about war and that the nation only exists because of colonialism and horrible slave-owning white men.

Now they suddenly want us to believe they’re all about freedom, God, family, and love of country.

I can’t help but think that this is all based on nothing more than polling.

Would anyone whose opinion is malleable enough to be swayed have even watched?

It’s like watching Big Brother rise. Democrats are assaulting common sense, history, logic, and the basic foundations holding society together. Freedom is Slavery to their agenda, 2+2=5 or men are women if they say so, Kamala Harris has always been the most qualified candidate in history.

Um, did they really use “Born In The USA”? They know that’s not a patriotic song, right?

    I came here to say the same thing. Did they also play “Rockin in the Free World”? What about “Flags of Freedom”? They should have had Neil Young on stage.

    The Oblivious Classes make some weird decisions. It seems that a surprising number of them ask for “Keep On Loving You” as their wedding dance.

To be fair we could use some of that ‘smart gov’t’ Van Jones was hyping, a govt that doesn’t recklessly piss away taxpayer funds, driving us further into debt to fund the latest fashionable boondoggle presented by rent seeking donor class grifters. Unfortunately it’s in the nature of the bureaucracy to abandon their narrow original mission set in favor of growing their power and reach while simultaneously seeking to expand their authority to interfere in and control the everyday lives of ordinary Citizens.

THEY FORCE PEOPLE TO SIT THROUGH THE BLACK NATIONAL ANTHEM

as the prequel to whats about to come

It should be clear to everyone that the media has decided to dispense with even the pretense of impartiality and become de facto running-mates for the Harris/Walz ticket. No relief is coming from them.

Trump is going to have roughly and hour & a half during their first (and almost certainly only) debate to make the case to the American people that Kamala Harris is a leftwing radical. He needs to be granular, fact-heavy and concise.

“Harris’s running mate was presented as a veteran who loves family, football, beer, and America.”

Remember when drinking beer meant you were unfit to be on the Supreme Court?

What’s the saying? CHEAP FAKE!

None of them are actually looking at Old Glory! Their eyes and skin would burn from it, like Dracula and the Cross!

They have nothing but lies, and their faith in the gullibility of the voting public.

All those American flags at the DNC, with those people, made that place the worst fire hazard in the Americas.

“Van Jones suggests Republicans have a ‘cheaper patriotism’ than Democrats’ ‘deeper,’ ‘muscular patriotism’ ” seems a bit off when Harris’ running mate bugs out when the going (to Iraq) gets tough.

    They have “gravitas.”
    Which turned out to be a black hole… for all your tax money.

Their freedom

Their families

Their Country

Your not invited

Analysis from Van Jones??
A quick web search shows that he became a communist by 1992. I see nothing saying he renounced communism.
I call BS on his quote.
Socialists/Communists are the enemy of the country and its people.

The real message is “We think you’re stupid enough to believe this”

1. The Democrats’ anti-American image reflects reality, regardless of short term agitprop.

2) The problem is that we do not have a large, organized political force in this country that opposes them.

Subotai Bahadur

The vile Dhimmi-crats engage in the same shuck-and-jive theatrics and posturing, every election cycle.

They wave a few American flags — flags that they and their Islamofacsist/Muslim supremacist allies are burning, the other 360 days of the year; make copious mentions of “firefighters” and “veterans” (but, not police officers, naturally); and, pretend that they aren’t a bunch of subversive, America-hating, neo-communist, pro-Muslim supremacist fifth columnists and zealots.

After the election, the mask and costume of alleged and feigned “moderacy” and “pragmatism” are quickly discarded, and it’s back to their role as destructive and totalitarian apparatchiks proposing all manner of idiotic, nonsensical, impoverishing and corrosive policies and schemes.
