1. Seems legit.

[msongs]

2. pathetic. nt

[Haggard Celine]

3. I guess my day hasn't been too bad.

At least I didn't stand around singing in a Wal-Mart.

[ProfessorGAC]

4. Nausea Inducing

Fake patriots screeching a poor song that they can't sing.
Charming.
P.S. - that song is supposed to be up tempo. When it was a drinking song, it was sung 50% faster than what we hear today.
So, those folks can't sing it, and they're singing it wrong.

[11 Bravo]

9. I was unable to determine the sincerity of anyone's patriotism from the video.

[ProfessorGAC]

11. Then We're Different

Real patriots seldom need to display it for no clear reason at Walmart.
But, then you knew that.

[11 Bravo]

27. It annoys the piss out of me when Republicans try to tell me what "real patriots" do or don't do.

Now I find I don't much care for it when it comes from our side either.

If a Trump, Cruz, Hawley, Graham, Hannity, or any moron in MAGA gear had exhibited similar behavior, I would have ridiculed it as phony because those miserable goat turds have already shown me that they are either racist assholes or opportunistic performance artists who care for nothing other than maintaining power in fealty to a corrupt and venal charlatan.

But since I wouldn't know anyone in that video if I tripped over them, and the whole "Hyuk, hyuk - rubes at Walmart" mantra doesn't resonate with me, I'm unwilling to jump to a conclusion.

YMMV

5. We're crazy in Florida

But not that crazy.

[Lochloosa]

20. As a Floridian, that made me laugh. TY for that.

[ornotna]

21. Preemptive

You know what I'm talking about.

[Devil Child]

6. Cool, made me smile. Good for them.

I'd rather take people happily singing them anthem than the dead 1000-yard stares typically found at the local mega-mart.

[abqtommy]

7. That's a lot better than "shots fired"!

[Marrah_Goodman]

8. Weird, but far from the weirdest things done in a Walmart.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

10. Ironic it happened at the very symbol of anti-democratic plutocracy.....

completely dependent on China (as I'm now listening to hundreds of dollars of Chinese fireworks exploding in my low income neighborhood).

I'm surprised the Rethugs haven't proposed a new anthem that celebrates rampant consumerism......


Patriotism, my ass.......

[rurallib]

13. and being open on America's birthday seems to be a show of disrespect

to the country.

[NightWatcher]

12. Now fill that buggy with all that Chinese plastic shit.

[East-A-Squared]

14. They sing it in a store that sells flags made in China.

[BannonsLiver]

15. I would have laughed my ass off at them

What a bunch of goobers.

[struggle4progress]

16. The perfect time to propose changing our national anthem to "De colores"?

[EndlessWire]

17. I liked it. n/t

[a kennedy]

18. I just love that lotsa people are getting out, on our NATIONAL HOLIDAY.....

we’ve got differences, BUT……we are ALL Americans.

[Hotler]

19. Because their patriotism is bigger than all of ours. I wonder why they didn't

break out and sign Dixie.

[alphafemale]

22. I need to learn the second verse so I can belt right into it if this happens around me

Just to EFF with people.

And sneer at them like I was the better patriot.

[Judi Lynn]

24. Maybe even go for a third! Woot! More patriotic than thou.

[Judi Lynn]

23. How unstable do you have to be to want to control complete strangers, forcing them to sing with you?

That's actually offensive, rude, and embarrassing. It's butting into their lives, it's disrespect.

No doubt a lot of them left feeling really stupid for going along with it, afraid to be seen as "not patriotic".

Serious infantile problems with the pathetic woman in the striped shirt. She's a short bully.

[onethatcares]

25. and now

we ask for a moment of silence to listen to our dear leader speak.

and remember

those flag shirts are available in aisle 9 in all sizes.


whoever posted, "EFFing goobers" is right.

[Raine]

26. If they feel like singing and aren't embarrassed good for them! 👍 nt
