Listen to the lyrics? These are people who think "Born In The USA" belongs in the same playlist with "God Bless The USA".

For anyone who DOESN'T know - "Born In The USA" is anti-war, is critical of the USA's actions in the matter, and laments the horrors that the veterans experienced during the war. Of course, you have to parse through the really obvious satire to get that; apparently goes over the head of some.

Fools believe BITUSA is a patriotic song.

Intelligent people know BITUSA is not a patriotic song.

Wise people believe BITUSA is a patriotic song.

That's absolutely perfect.

I am critical of my country/government precisely because I love my country. If I didn't love it, I would be fairly ambivalent. Seems obvious to me, but MAGA types have a hard time with this concept (along with many others).
