There’s a certain strain of modern “patriot” in America who truly believes the Founding Fathers fought and died so that one day, a 58-year-old woman could LARP as Paul Revere while assaulting strangers in a parking lot over a flag she doesn’t even understand. And on Saturday in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, we met that patriot in all her red-white-and-belligerent glory.
According to reports, Madam MAGA Fisticuffs decided that the best way to defend “freedom” was to scream about liberty while physically attacking a “No Kings” protester and trying to rip away his American flag like a deranged raccoon fighting over a Slim Jim behind a gas station. Nothing says “I love this country” quite like proving you don’t understand the First Amendment, personal space, basic decency, or gravity.
But please—let’s take a moment to appreciate the symbolism. Here is a woman who likely worships the Founding Fathers with the same reverence she gives to limited-edition Walmart Christmas nativity sets, yet cannot grasp that “No Kings” is literally the most American phrase ever shouted into the humid Carolina air.
She wasn’t defending patriotism. She was defending a hat slogan and a fantasy. The kind of fantasy where “freedom” apparently means: I get to assault people who disagree with me because Dear Leader is my emotional support tyrant. George Washington did not freeze his ass off at Valley Forge so 248 years later a self-appointed mall cop of liberty could turn into a one-woman mosh pit over a flag she thinks she owns.
And the best part? This wasn’t even a counter-argument. It was a tantrum. A flailing, gas-station-brand outburst of political rage with all the dignity of a drunk pelican flying into a ceiling fan. She didn’t protect America. She embarrassed it. Kitty Hawk is where humans first learned to fly—and this woman crash-landed like a pilot whose only flight training consisted of eating lead-based paint chips while consuming Facebook memes.
The mugshot alone could be used as a warning label on the side of a bottle:
CAUTION: SIDE EFFECTS OF FASCISM MAY INCLUDE: VIOLENCE, HYSTERIA, AND COMPLETE LOSS OF CONSTITUTIONAL COMPREHENSION.
Meanwhile, the “No Kings” protesters were doing something profoundly radical: standing there and not assaulting people. What monsters. Truly, the Founders would be horrified.
Because this is the real divide in America right now: One side believes in constitutional rights, and the other side believes in supporting authoritarianism with weekend-warrior violence.
This woman didn’t defend the flag. She disgraced it. And in the end, she proved one thing with perfect clarity:
You can shout “freedom” all day long, but the moment you start throwing punches to silence dissent, you are not a patriot. You are a low-budget hall monitor for fascism, and America will remember you only as a blooper reel with handcuffs.
God bless the “No Kings” movement. And may the rest of the wannabe monarchists please discover reading comprehension before the next protest.

"Emotional support tyrant" is just better than I have words for. 🤣🤣🤣
