If you dare to question ICE operations, if you dare to question the war in Iran, if you challenge Tom Cotton’s record on the Farm Bill, or disagree with him on ANY number of everyday issues affecting Arkansans, at best he’ll tell you you’re wrong. At worst, he’ll tell you you’re anti-American.
But Tom Cotton is not America. ICE is not America. No political party is America. And no government official gets to decide who loves this country based on whether they agree with him.
Questioning our government is not anti-American. Holding powerful people accountable is one of the most American things we can do.
Patriotism is not obedience to a politician. It is believing enough in this country to demand better from the people entrusted to serve it.
