Does disliking the US Government inherently make you Anti-American?

@GeistInTheMachine I really love the idea of America. I'm very open about that. I love the freedom and the "American Dream". I truly identify with that, but for all my life it's been pretty much not that. Trump especially. He's the antithesis of what America should be. He's a businessman first... Capitalism isn't in favor of the little people like most people think. It's a easy way to justify unhealthy comfort and billionaires. Life isn't supposed to comfortable. No one should be a billionaire.

None of what's happening is what I imagine the ideal America to be. The ideal America is people being free. No one being disadvantaged by factors out of their control.

@G00GLE A lot of Americans would consider much of what you've just posted to be a sort of heresy, but I enthusiastically agree with you in part. Even though I don't agree with you fully, your opinion is really refreshing. Some Americans hate it, but I always like seeing an outsider's point of view. Well put. Thank you.

Also, prepare to catch some flak!

@GeistInTheMachine I live for catching the flak! 😌
I always hope to challenge the status quo in some way, and if people take offense by it I know I succeeded.

@Dexterdextroid Some of those people may be anti-American, sure. I'm just saying that criticizing the government or calling for change per se is not anti-American. Some of the people doing so may be, though.

@BlueRain A lot of people fought and died fighting authoritarian tyranny that doesn't allow one to stay and complain to make things better and advance the ideals of freedom.

Again, when are you leaving? You should like an anti-American authoritarian to me.

Your own logic is a contradiction. You can't even answer what I said pertaining to whether you left when a party or president you didn't like won.

You're nothing but a shallow anti-American hypocrite.

Ironic.

@GeistInTheMachine I love this country. I’m not leaving. You are shallow.

And have little life experience

@SW-User Same. Reeks of McCarthyism.

The government has brainwashed us from birth coming from someone whose country decided to participate in protests because they were happening here and your people even started tearing y’all statues down too 😂👏@Psycho

@DeluxedEdition You hold that up as if it makes my point invalid but I don't deny my country is the same or any country for that matter.. enjoy being a sheepy.

@Psycho you call me a sheep while your country literally copied my country just because you saw it on the tele

@Peapod Yeah. Since its inception. It's what makes you a true citizen.

@GeistInTheMachine Thank-you. Sounds like you care too.

@Peapod I do, deep down.

Thanks.

@DeluxedEdition Not with Mr.Trump in charge!

#kag! @Shine

@DeluxedEdition Dude, Trump and the GOPer maniacs have been in charge for years now. With majority.

@RightSaidFred Too long of a laundry list, and I'm quite out of practice and much more checked out when it comes to politics, lately.

Basically, I agree with American ideals, care about the American people, but think that the government is corrupt, largely controlled by traitors, tyrannical and exceedingly immoral.

@RightSaidFred Yeah, I have that issue with most governments. It's just that the one I'm under is the most powerful.

@strongbow They’re so fucking dumb it hurts them to what do they think they’re going to do
