LGBTQIA+ on Yik Yak | I hate that the political right has co-opted patriotism so much that they made jingoism the baseline of patriotism. I love my country so much and its people that I want it to be better, but that’s no longer seen as patriotism

Mind you previous patriotism was idolizing people who committed genocides and enslaved human beings. Being “patriotic” to a country that has never had a good era is what reeks of being right wing
