    This, but unironically.

    I will never understand how the United States, formerly supposedly the greatest democracy in the world (yea yeah, I know) is so eager to cede patriotism to the scummiest racists and lowlifes.

    Punching Nazis is American. Welcoming immigrants with open arms is American. Fuck those inbred bastards who use the flag as a symbol of hate.

      formerly supposedly the greatest democracy in the world

      Before or after manifesting their destiny over half the continent?

      What mattered was that the US was moving forwards and not backwards. We were building a more inclusive America for all.

      That’s no longer the case.
