    God I hate what my country has become. No country is perfect or will ever be, but I can no longer say I’m proud to be an American. Fucking sad.

        I was. You can’t conflate what politicians do and what the government does as “this is what the country is all about”. There are plenty of reasons to be proud of your country. The reason I am no longer proud is just the sheer amount of stupidity in people these days. It really feels like we are going backwards.

        But here’s the thing, America isn’t the only country going backwards.

        No kidding. The US was never “great” and I say that as an American. This country has sucked for my entire life and it’s only now that a lot of Americans are finally waking up to that reality.

      I don’t want to be American. At least, not for THIS America. Hopefully, the Blue States will break off from Dogey America and proceed to curbstomp the fuckers into oblivion.
