As for the Democratic Convention, it sure came across like along the way the democrats decided to pick up and dust off the rhetoric that the republicans abandoned when they went with Donald "America is awful now" Trump. That is, I heard so many "God Bless the USA", "Support our Troops" and "America is the greatest and we own the finish line" lines that someone could be forgiven for confusing the two. Mind, yes, they did intersperse that with democratic talking points. It's just clear that the democrats have picked up the nationalist flag (which... I guess... would just be the US flag) and ran with it.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
