Americans hate no one

Americans don’t burn the flag. Americans proudly stand when the band plays “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Americans don’t march with tiki torches lit, holding Nazi and Confederate flags chanting “Jews can’t replace us” or “Blood and Soil” or “Whose Streets? Our Streets.” Americans love and respect one another and hate no one.
