Lauren Boebert Humiliates Herself by Announcing That Her ‘Pronoun is Patriot’ — ‘The Education System Failed You!’

Pronoun:

A word that can function by itself as a noun phrase and that refers either to the participants in the discourse.

Lauren Boebert says that her pronoun is “Patriot.” As many in the net will tell you, that “Patriot” isn’t a pronoun. But under the classic definition above, it could serve that function (though Lauren doesn’t know this). It would, however, come with extreme difficulty due to confusion. For example, we didn’t even know that she played football. That’s impressive for someone who didn’t play the sport in high school.

This is actually her biggest problem:

Patriot:

A person who vigorously supports their country and is prepared to defend it against enemies or detractors.

This is also subtle, though less difficult. Lauren doesn’t support her country, she supports her party, and even more specifically, she supports one man as representative of that party. If she supported her country, she would understand and abide by rules set in place by her “country,” even while arguing vociferously against those rules.

Her country, whether she likes it or not, is made up of people who aren’t like her and have different values. A patriot values these people as fellow citizens. Her country has laws that made Pelosi Speaker and the Speaker made rules regarding firearms in the Capitol. Lauren believes those rules are for other people and she knows better. She believes she’s a judge and can violate the rules she knows to be wrong. (In her head). In other words, she’s what people often call criminals, also sort of a pronoun in this sense.

When she says she is a patriot, she is ready to defend her country against enemies and detractors. She is ready to defend her country against us, the people she disagrees with. To the extent she is loyal to a country, it’s not the United States. If someone asked her, “Lauren, are you ready to defend every Americans’ freedoms to the same extent as yours, including LGTBQs and newly arrived immigrants?” We would be she would say, “No.”

Regardless, her attempt to lift herself up above others, to a higher plane American, one with deeper, more committed, principles, simply left the net falling over laughing.

And off they went!
