Fuck those traitors. Part of loving your country is wanting it to get better, theyre constantly making it worse. I refuse to attribute patriotism to a party of seditionists.

They’re not patriots, they’re nationalists.
“Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.” — Mark Twain
I agree wholeheartedly.
It shouldn’t be. They want a king.
They more just want to see people suffer, "for the lulz."
I have a family friend who moved to Idaho to be around more like-minded people, as they put it. She thinks everything going on is comedy, and is getting a kick out of watching people lose their stuff over what Fox says isn't happening. Her and her husband have their heads buried so far up their asses it's insane. She also conveniently forgets her kids are half Hispanic (their bio dad is Mexican), and then wonders why they tell her to go fuck herself.
They take pride in how they've convinced themselves they don't. That kind of doublethink can't be pulled off by just anybody.
They think they have freedom because they have guns and can blow up fireworks and have a day to show it off. Literally no other real freedoms, but it feels like freedom.
It can if your target demographic has been consistently consuming lead and avoiding therapy for their entire lives.
The Fireworks were more subdued this year where I live.
I don't know if it was because people are ashamed of what we've become or that the tarrifs have put people in a pinch. Or both.
It was the opposite in SLC, fireworks were going off all over for a good 5-6 hours. I surmised everyone was just lighting off all the stock they had since tariffs and drones are going to make them more expensive and dangerous than they’re worth.
Still got a pile of bottle rockets and Roman candles in the closet but lately I feel more like pointing them at masked white dudes than doing anything to celebrate America
Fireworks are damned expensive. We didn't buy any this year because I'm not about to spend $200 to shoot off five fountains.
I bought $200 worth of fireworks 20-ish years ago and have never used them. its like 50 mortars and a fuckton of firecrackers.
honestly, I never used them because I lost faith in my country back then. anything I feel for my country now resembles a dried up desiccated corpse.
Cheap temu version of pride month, won’t beat the original tho
My commentary was that 4th of July this year felt more like a going away party.
It's not meant to be.
I/we shit on America's residents a lot, but there are several things to be proud of as a decent American. Start with Ben Franklin.

Russia Day is June 12th, though.
