The problem is a bunch of vile frauds and imbeciles have taken the concept of patriotism itself and have molested it into something ugly and shallow.

Tomorrow, the aspects of America I will be celebrating are diverse states like New York and California which truly represent what this country should be right now and into the 21st century and beyond.

What I WON'T be celebrating is a pack of ignorant, regressive bumpkins' interpretation of what patriotism is, which is apparently a fat charlatan rubbing his shriveled-up junk on the flag.

1. these people obviously can not govern themselves

much less a global empire.

2. Gallup and "extremely proud of America"

American Pride Hits New Low; Few Proud of Political System
Proud to be an American? Gallup poll hits historic low of 45% ahead of Fourth of July holiday

3. This is the first Fourth of July I feel ashamed to be American

And will treat it like any other day.

4. No one can define our patriotism.

That's something that we each get to create for ourselves.

5. Same as the Bush years

When patriotic meant war mongering

Sigh...

[Skittles]

6. I still believe America is stronger than Donald Fucking Trump

as Churchill said, America will do the right thing after exhausting all other possibilities

7. Nope. I just think of these guys:

Yes, I know some were slave owners, misogynists, hypocrites, jerks ...

but they still had a lot of courage.

9. Fuck Orange Julius. He's not taking THIS away from me...

...and my flag's hanging on my porch, NOT between my legs.

10. Proud of the ideal, the potential.

The reality not so much. Bush made us war criminals and tortures abroad, now Trump has us committing crimes against humanity at home.
