The word “patriot” here in America has been tainted by (white) nationalist extremists who harbor racism, bigotry, and prejudice as part of their core values, using Christianity/religion as a guise of righteousness and justification for their hatred, all the while claiming to be humble servants in the name of the Constitution and the bible, praising the founding fathers for their work in creating this very nation.

Anyone who has done even the smallest amount of research into America’s past knows that this country was founded by powerful men and women on radical leftist principles at the time of religious freedom and equality, as well as absolutely annihilating anything that blocked the path to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.

While we proudly stand with and support the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities, we also acknowledge the ongoing acts of terrorism directed against those communities that is standing history and part of this country.
We believe that we need to start where we’re at, take the best of who we are, and move forward in the most inclusive way as possible.

Here at True Patriot, we believe what makes a “true patriot” is someone who is proud of their country for what is has done, not someone who is proud of their country regardless of what is has done. Being a true patriot means not living in the shadow of denial, and recognizing when your country does wrong, but also supporting what your country does right. It means standing up for your fellow American, fighting back against bigotry and prejudice, against terrorists both foreign and domestic. It means when you see your country leading astray, you fight to change it, you fight for it, because when you’re a true patriot, you always fight for We the People.

To all the nationalist extremists who have attempted to corrupt and stain this country, along with the word “patriot,” we’re taking it back.
