MAGA Republicans don’t seem to understand patriotism

Massachusetts is where revolutions are born. And no, that is not ‘socialism’. It’s American patriotism.   For people who love to call themselves ‘patriots’, MAGA Republicans don’t seem to understand the history of patriotism in this country. In 1775, the ‘shot heard round the world’ was fi…
