It’s very weird to me that it’s republicans who are more proud than democrats. Republicans are the ones who say the country is a crime-filled shithole full of woke gay black trans people who care about humans rights, and they think those are bad things. So what are they proud of?

I’m proud that we have all those types of people and more, and that we’ve made some progress in getting them a semblance of equality, but I’m ashamed that we’re still not quite there yet and even the pittances we’ve won have taken so freaking long and have been met with such resistance from the right.

They’re proud of the “real” America. Those others in this country don’t count and need to be eliminated.

I’m proud to be an american, where they’re sleeping in the streets.

And I won’t forget the man who died, while “resisting” the police.

And I’ll proudly stand up for barbecue, if it’s what’s on sale today.

Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land. But screw the libs and gays!

It’s also really strange that conservatives love gutting the government… Which is a pretty big part of what makes a country. They they love that flag.

I think if you asked them with open mind you’d find a very different conclusion

Not only am I embarrassed by the US and it’s inhabitants, my family has been planning an international move for some time. Once we are no longer caring for the elders in the family, we will make our exit stage right.

Doubtful that it will be for us, we’re fairly well insulated from the goings on around us, income/Bureaucracy wise.

Naw, it ain’t going full empire.

You can get a certain pride in going full empire. You can pretend that you deserve the power as you are the peak of civilization bearing the white man’s burden to run the world. It is really hard to have that pride in Trump unless you’re really fucking dumb.

I haven’t seen Tropic Thunder and the way this comment is written makes me completely unsure if it’s paraphrasing a line from the movie
