The people fawning and the people rejecting the Founders' intentions are two separate groups of people. Media is the practice of including and excluding voices, and there are distinct trends over time of representing one or another set of voices.

> The people fawning and the people rejecting the Founders' intentions are two separate groups of people. The same people supporting Trump, from national thought leaders like Heritage and the Federalist society, to Murdoch publications (Fos, WSJ), to everyday people on social media have long pushed hard for expanded Second Amendment rights, expended freedom of religion which outweighs all other considerations and rights, and freedom of speech, etc. for right-wing hate speech (including their focus on social media moderation) - just as examples.

        That is the best use case for LLMs that I've heard! Best of luck to you and your toddler.

They're the same ultra-nationalists. I just did a quick twitter search for "founding fathers". Here we have, in order: People tab: "I love our founding fathers": https://x.com/Stephan73992604 https://x.com/Stephan73992604 "Founding Fathers daily": https://x.com/FFoundersDaily https://x.com/FFoundersDaily Someone with [heart] founding fathers: https://x.com/JKernerOT https://x.com/JKernerOT Top tweets: Rush Limbaugh: https://x.com/LimbaughLegacy/status/1906424705336180913 https://x.com/LimbaughLegacy/status/1906424705336180913 "ThePatrioticBlonde": https://x.com/ImBreckWorsham/status/1904301594717651038 https://x.com/ImBreckWorsham/status/1904301594717651038 And an actual anti-semite: https://x.com/GnoticeUs/status/1906465034823499806 https://x.com/GnoticeUs/status/1906465034823499806 And the most recent: https://x.com/SwampFox1795/status/1906554560094576889 https://x.com/SwampFox1795/status/1906554560094576889 https://x.com/tablewithannie/status/1906554512472736060 https://x.com/tablewithannie/status/1906554512472736060 https://x.com/jp_peter51132/status/1906555671040102769 https://x.com/jp_peter51132/status/1906555671040102769 The ultra-nationalists love national myth and imagery.

Displays of nationalism and patriotism is mostly just a disciplining tactic by authoritarians who want unquestioning loyalty simply by displaying superficial symbols and gestures. It's a way to claim the authority of the dead, to manufacture legitimacy through association. So now you're questioning the flag as opposed to the person waving it telling you what to do.
