We want free and open debate, not speech codes and cancel culture. We embrace tolerance, not prejudice. We support the courageous men and women of law enforcement. We will never abolish our police or our great Second Amendment which gives us the right to keep and bear arms. We believe that our children should be taught to love their country, honor their history, and respect our great American flag. We stand tall, we stand proud, and we only kneel to Almighty God. This is who we are. This is what we believe and these are the values that will guide us as we strive to build an even better and greater future. Those who seek to erase our heritage want Americans to forget our pride and our great dignity so that we can no longer understand ourselves or America’s destiny. In toppling the heroes of 1776, they seek to dissolve the bonds of love and loyalty that we feel for our country and that we feel for each other. Their goal is not a better America, their goal is to end America.

President Donald J. Trump

I thought we didnt like people that violate the flag code.

"The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free."

In its place, they want power for themselves, but just as patriots did in centuries past, the American people will stand in their way and we will win and win quickly and with great dignity. We will never let them rip America’s heroes from our monuments or from our hearts. By tearing down Washington and Jefferson, these radicals would tear down the very heritage for which men gave their lives to win the Civil War, they would erase the memory that inspired those soldiers to go to their deaths, singing these words of the Battle Hymn of the Republic, “As he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free, while God is marching on.” They would tear down the principles that propelled the abolition of slavery and ultimately around the world ending an evil institution that had plagued humanity for thousands and thousands of years. Our opponents would tear apart the very documents that Martin Luther King used to express his dream and the ideas that were the foundation of the righteous movement for Civil Rights. They would tear down the beliefs, culture and identity, that have made America the most vibrant and tolerant society in the history of the earth. My fellow Americans, it is time to speak up loudly and strongly and powerfully and defend the integrity of our country.

President Donald J, Trump

As a liberal I’d be extremely selective when quoting Jefferson , if I were you . I see that you were .

Thomas Jefferson believed in a free press. Jefferson viewed a free press as an essential check on governmental power, and the corruption that too much centralized authority can lead to. Since taking office, Donald Trump has attempted to place limitations on the freedoms of the press, and he has aggressively sought to suppress free speech, whenever this speech is critical of him, including a book authored by his own niece, Mary Trump. Also, Donald Trump has taken vindictive action against the owner (Jeff Bezos) of a newspaper (The Washington Post) which has been critical of him. Suffice to say, Thomas Jefferson did not consider the press to be the "enemy of the people". Only corrupt politicians, such as Richard Nixon and Donald Trump, think that way.

Again as a liberal , I’d be very careful using the quotes Jefferson gave. I know what Jefferson said about the press , what he thought about government . I also know what he thought about your liberal polices .

I assume that you remember that during President Donald Trump's first two years in office, from January of 2017 until January of 2019, there was a Republican President, with both a Republican majority in the House of Representatives (the Speaker of the House was Paul Ryan), and a Republican majority in the Senate (the Senate Majority Leader was Mitch McConnell). This ad begs a few questions: If something needed to be fixed, why wasn't it fixed during those first two years? Why should the American people think the next 4 years would be any different than those first two? After all, if Republicans do regain control of the Senate, that just means that the next Senate Majority Leader would be Sen. Mitch McConnell, who has been a member of the United States Senate for 35 years - that is only 3 years less than Sen. Chuck Schumer and 3 years longer than Nancy Pelosi.
