How do you have pride when the leader of your tribe is a liar, swindler, rapist, thug?
What a simplistic mind that says unthinkingly "Well the leader of my country wants it, I'm not going to question him, rah rah!"
- charcircuit 15d agoI have pride because America is the best country on Earth composed of the best people on Earth.
- kijashdkujdfhas 15d ago"Patriotism is supporting your country all the time and your government when it deserves it." - Mark Twain This is my kind of patriotism, personally. I love America. I want America to succeed in the world. And I will call my government out when it is fucking it up. Renaming Lake Ontario on a whim because Trump is no longer happy with the USMCA trade deal he himself made just a few years ago and the negotiations aren't going well because he keeps making crazy demands is squarely in "fucking it up" territory.
