      Honestly it’s hard to even get in the mood. Everything related to the 4th this year feels like satire.

        If you’re like me, it’s a great opportunity to ruin the family picnic with politics and pressuring maga relatives. Likely won’t change any minds, but maybe I’ll luck out and not get invited next year.

          Talk enthusiastically about how much money we’ll save by slashing medicaid if they’re on it.

              Oh good lord. I would absolutely love to hear how that goes.

                I have no idea what he said, but based on the status of his response right now, I’m going to say that it went somewhat less than well…

                  Their father in law is a big Trumper. That’s about the gist.

        I haven’t felt patriotic since the 90s. Every 4th feels like I’m surrounded by deluded people.

          9/11 ruined it for me, specifically the “proud to be an American”, flag on cars garbage—while we passed the Patriot act and started more wars.

          Call it what it is: nationalism. I’ve been weirded out by it since I stopped saying the pledge of allegiance in elementary school.

          Fun fact: the pledge was created as part of a campaign to sell more flags to schools.

          Yeah, patriotism always felt fucking weird as a kid growing up in the 90s.

          I’ve been pretty ashamed of my country for a long time.

            I’m proud and ashamed
            Every Fourth of July
            You got to know the truth
            Before you say that you got pride

        Celebrating a day breaking away from a king in a year, we return to a king, very infuriating.
