Patriotism Rehab

It’s a beautiful Friday morning in Washington, D.C., and Jonah has decided to pick a fight with Alexander Graham Bell. He ruminates upon the long decline of the convention (and who’s to blame), the insidious lying and mudslinging from both parties (Breaking: It’s wrong to bully children), and the parameters of minding your own business. Once Jonah has eaten his spinach and completed his convention punditry speed run, he ponders the ethics of critiquing patriotic sincerity, arguing that Donald Trump is not the patriot he pretends to be.
