A poll shows only 36% of Democrats say they’re “extremely” or “very” proud to be American, reflecting a dramatic decline in national pride that's also clear among young people.
Yeah. I’m not going to any celebrations of the country this weekend. I don’t have it in me to be patriotic right now. It’s wild how far we’ve fallen in the past decade. And flabbergasting how much further we fell over the last 6 months.
I never thought I’d literally be stocking up on ammunition over political shifts in the US. That’s what the crazies on the right do.
no shit, sherlock.
zero reason to be proud of a fascist government.

Only reason I’m gonna set off fireworks is for my kid. He turned 5 in May and has been begging me to set off fireworks for the 4th.

Oh, I believe it. I just can’t imagine it.
See the left side of the curve.:
It has always been ~30-40% in this country… These are the “deplorables” that Hillary was referring to.
They will never change.
This. And I’m otherwise a very patriotic American veteran.
Great, so you’re organizing with your fellow veterans to do something about it, right?
I’ve never been diagnosed with “clinical depression”.
I’m guessing now it would be “yes”.
My country is completely losing it’s shit and even an Ocean wide bidet isn’t good enough to clean the asses of 75 million Harris voters.
