“Patriot” emerged from the fact that the United States almost exclusively targets Black and Brown people abroad, as it has done historically within its own borders. In this sense, the nation is a force of white supremacy. Thus, I sewed the United States flag into the shape of a Ku Klux Klan hood. Its dual function as a dunce cap comes from the idea that violence is insanity.
