As I said.....Everyone has a different perception of what Patriotic is.
The few bad apples turned out to be hundreds storming the Capitol Building, Fighting with Law Enforcement, busting doors & windows, chanting to hang our VP while our POTUS was watching it on television & laughing about it.
The ones that were there & remained on the grounds & not being violent etc. then yes I can agree with those.....But the 'few" bad apples didn't get what they wanted, but sure are getting what they deserved.

A Coup Attempt against the United States certainly is not patriotic.
The sad part is that Trump announced it, in nuanced words, at a Georgia rally. And, no preventative action was taken. He basically told us he was going to attempt a coup. He did it. Now, we have to investigate it. DA!
As far as people getting what they deserve, I partially disagree. Some of the mindless, brainwashed followers are getting penalized/imprisoned, but the planners and orchestrators of the COUP AGAINST THE UNITED STATES, are getting off scot free (so far). Some got pardons.
I do agree with the "elitist" comment I saw above. Our so-called representatives (both R&D) seem to consider themselves as a ruling class instead of a representative class. I believe that our politicians should be chosen in the same manner that we select our jurors (luck of the draw---if you are registered to vote, you may be selected to serve). If that method is good for life/death/imprisonment decisions, why not for representative decisions? Shouldn't we have truck drivers, public school teachers, police officers, etc, representing us, instead of career politicians? It should be: "Of, By, and For The People", not "Over The People."
