The Pueblo Chieftain
Rioters weren t true patriots
A cult is defined by its excessive and unwarranted devotion to a person, place, or cause. What the nation saw on January 6th, 2021 at the national Capitol was the work of a cult. Donald Trump’s fervid supporters are not patriots, as Trump and some Republican politicians like Ted Cruz describe them. No true patriot would have paraded the stars and bars of the Confederacy through the Capitol; that never happened even during the Civil War.
No true patriot would have lowered our nation’s flag from it place on the Capitol, taken it from its lanyard, dropped it several stories to the ground like so much rubbish, and then hoisted a Trump campaign flag in its place.
