The online response to a Huffington Post article whining that Olympics patriotism feels "yucky" is decidedly negative.
While most Americans are swelling with pride over the victories racked up by U.S. Olympians in the Winter Games, some on the left are crippled by conflicting emotions.
The article by Monica Torres proclaimed, "If waving the American flag or chanting 'USA!' turns you off right now, you're not alone."
Right out of the gate, Torres assailed the Trump administration for killing unarmed civilians and detaining 2-year-olds, then went on to cite therapists treating the "cognitive dissonance." One expert said the angst could even manifest itself physically in the forms of "tightness in the neck, shoulder or jaw areas, as well as digestive issues and trouble sleeping."
