why do conservative media figures omit the word "The" from their sentences? (hexbear.net)

a lot of conservatives use sentences like

"I love country, I love government"

instead of

"I love the country, I love the government"

is it just to appeal to the large percentage of Americans who are illiterate or something...? idk why but it really pisses me off

Because adjectives are woke.

Jokes aside my speculation is similar to what has already been discussed here in the comments. They probably do that to sound grand, or intelligent or "worldly". Either way it's ridiculous.
