literally i wasn’t celebrating america i was celebrating a nice weather day with a grill out and alcohol with friends. for a lot of people it’s one of the few days off they get so why not go out and enjoy yourself since they are actively taking away joy? trump is probably going to take away holidays anyway so.

Also these are the same people who will be more mad at their fellow Americans who are also suffering from this bill- but not know a single persons name who signed off on it. Doing exactly what they want, pointing fingers amongst ourselves instead of at them.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong w loving your country but being Explicitly Patriotic has unfortunately been co-opted by the bigots. Like there’s **technically** nothing wrong w flying the American flag on your house but I’m definitely gonna be careful around you until I know you better

Fully agree, plus it’s just the vibe of the holiday. I have Jewish friends who celebrate Christmas with Santa and Christmas trees because fuck it, life is short, why not celebrate a holiday for the hell of it? Everything’s become so commercialized that none of them have any real meaning anymore unless you decide to purposefully include it

I’m conflicted abt flags n the national anthem bcos I don’t want to support the military industrial complex but I DO wanna support veterans, but I’ll always be hating on Britain and wearing a “🦅 🍔 🔥” t shirt come July fourth

As someone from the south, THIS!! Uneducated people arent the enemy!! It’s the system that intentionally keeps people uneducated thats the enemy!! Like, fuck a Trump supporter but at the same time I can recognize that they deserve rights and are oftentimes a product of their environment, primarily the fact that neither they nor anyone in their community has ever received quality education
