True patriotism is not obedience. It is fidelity to truth and humanity.
The Illusion of Patriotism
Too many in this country call themselves patriots but see the world only in absolutes.

In 1980, the U.S. had 13 billionaires. Today, nearly 900 worth over $6 trillion.
The median household? About $200 k net worth.
Wealth hasn’t just grown, it’s concentrated. The gap between billionaires and everyone else is wider than at any time since the Great Depression.

Trump claims: “2025 Thanksgiving dinner is 25% lower than 2024 under Biden.”
✅ True: Walmart’s 2025 bundle serves 10 for <$40, about 25% cheaper than 2024.
⚠️ But that’s one promotion, not the full picture. Average meal costs remain high and many staples cost more than pre-pandemic.
Context matters.

In Georgia’s 14th District, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s district, about 141,000 people rely on SNAP to help feed their families.
That’s roughly 1 in 10 residents.
These are the people most affected by cuts she’s defended.

About half of working-age adults on SNAP already have jobs. Most others work part-time, seasonally, or care for family. SNAP isn’t a “no-work” benefit, it’s what keeps food on the table when wages or hours aren’t enough.

Powerful systems, massive money, and public apathy pull in the same direction, the slow demise of democracy.
I don’t feel powerless, only morally fatigued, the wear that comes from caring when caring feels futile.
But we must persist. We must resist.

Instead of buying beef from Argentina, we should:
Help ranchers rebuild, make packers compete, and give consumers short-term breathing room, but never outsource the backbone of American agriculture.
