COLUMN US needs dissent to grow Speaking out is patriotic

BY EILEEN.TYRRELL On March 31, Republican National Committee Chair Ronna @iowastatedaily.com McDaniel tweeted “Democrats hate our president more than they love our country.”

Although McDaniel has since blamed the tweet on a “rogue staffer,” she did make the same comment after this year’s State of the Union address. Partisan squabbling and sweeping gen- eralizations aside, McDaniel’s comment is disturbing because it’s part of a larger misguided trend in thought about what it actually means to love your country. What McDaniel and other Republicans neglect to consider is that perhaps the Democrats hate Trump so much because they love our country. Not only do Trump’s policies make up every Democrat’s worst nightmare, but his divisive rhetoric and moral ineptitude have sunk American morale to a pretty low point. According to Pew Global, positive views of America and confidence in American leadership sunk by 42 percent between the end of Obama’s presidency and the beginning of Trump’s presidency.
