"Nor did I say those that disrespect what those symbols stand for by kneeling "hate America"."--Plenty of your buddies have.

"Nor did I say they don't have a legal right to refuse to stand for the national anthem."--Never said that you did.

"But even though it's totally irrelevant, yes, I spent most of last year complaining about Trump. He was my last choice of the 17 (R) candidates. I never wanted him to be the nominee. I still took him over Hillary, of course (bad vs worse), but he was a long, long way from being my 1st choice. (Irrelevant as that may be.)"--My point still stands.  Besides, you could have voted for Gary Johnson (a candidate well-versed in business and governing), Jill Stein, or written someone in.  If you voted for him, he's yours.  There were other choices....and, assuming you're in Colorado, your vote for Trump counted just as much as a vote for any of those other candidates.
