Pride in my country, and the ideals it stands for. Yes, I'm sure some rebels without a clue will assail me for this, but despite the shortcomings of our demonstrated brutal history, as Americans, we still stand for good in the world. MAGAs are an abnormality, not patriots, and Trump humping the flag, is everything that's wrong with our country.
But the flag still means something to me.

USA. I confess for all the faults, I would rather the USA had dominated world politics in my lifetime than China or Russia. If I had my choice I would hand the keys to Norway, Finland or New Zealand (although Ardern has stepped down). Not to my own country of Australia, either. Rupert Murdoch poisoned our political air as he did UK and US.

@sunsporter1649 never said Cuba was my ideal system. I prefer Social Market Economies. So get me on a flight to Finland.

@Roundandroundwego you can take the black pill and be a doomer and give up before the battle even starts or you can take the white pill and be optimistic for the future.

@RedRogue you can choose to entirely ignore the war and the ecocide. American people are great at that.

@RedRogue Actual lefties are blocked from the news fed to the public. That's for a reason. Americans would be rioting if they knew how much their lives suck just so the oligarths can keep keep getting richer..

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow It certainly can. We don't have the technology nor the population to go against China. We don't even have the economy, as China owns most of us.
The US is not invincible, it is not staid and proven in the great span of time yet and we'd do well to remember great civilizations that ruled the land whose names we barely remember now.

its that country that folk comes begging to when they need money and bombs and shit for their wars. its that country that folks come begging to when it comes time to save them from Nazis. its the country that folks risk their life to come across the border to escape the shit hole they were in before they got here. its the country that communists complain about 24/7 but wont ever leave because deep down they know they have it good here.

@SheCallsMeCrushDaddy I complain about it because I've got a First Amendment right to do so, and because if the people don't speak up about what's wrong with this country, we can't fix it.

@SheCallsMeCrushDaddy it's the reason why someone elses country turned into a shit hole to begin with

@LordShadowfire They are to be avoided. Expect them them to be drunk, armed and uninsured.

@Crazywaterspring Unfortunately, I made the financial decision last year to buy a used hybrid. I might as well have put a bullseye on my bumper. Hardly a week goes by that somebody doesn't intentionally pass me on the right to cut me off.
Crazywaterspring · 61-69, M
@LordShadowfire They do that.

@MarmeeMarch And it's piggy backed on the discussion I was having with you. I'm not going anywhere
