Tell we why

so many Americans hate America. They hate the flag, they hate the constitution, they hate equal freedom for everybody, they hate democracy, they hate capitalism, our military, law enforcement, they hate virtually everything that once made this the greatest nation on earth. They want to have a socialist government little realizing they will be stripped as bare as a winter hedge if that happens. The rights they think they'll have will be taken away.

Kinda reminds me of what God told Israel when they asked for a king like the pagan nations around them.

1 Sam 8: 11-18 " He said, “This is what the king who will reign over you will claim as his rights: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots. 12 Some he will assign to be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and equipment for his chariots. 13 He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. 14 He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants. 15 He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants. 16 Your male and female servants and the best of your cattle and donkeys he will take for his own use. 17 He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves. 18 When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, but the Lord will not answer you in that day ”

and it happened just so

Old Samuel was quotecthe flip flopper. I believe it was Samuel who annointed Saul the King of israel if I remember my Bible lessons.

And as one of the judges who ruledthe Israeli people when he wrote your verse above, he had the most to lose.

How is this applicable to us is my question.

And who exactly is it that hates America?

Ah, but do you remember the rest of the story? 1 Sam 8:6-10 "But when they said, “Give us a king to lead us,” this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to the Lord. 7 And the Lord told him: “Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king. 8 As they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are doing to you. 9 Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will claim as his rights.”
10 Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people who were asking him for a king. vs 19-20 But the people refused to listen to Samuel. “No!” they said. “We want a king over us. 20 Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to lead us

As far as who hates America? I don't see how one can call the majority of what this woke movement stands for as anything other than hatred for the principles this country was built on.
