    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.
