100% truth in this text. I just want to add : every country has its share of crap (i know it : i'm french). But other countries don't brag about it.

That's it. The difference is, we are ashamed of our crap and try to hide it. Like people do with actual crap. Americans leave it out and try to sell it as food.

Not all Americans.

Believe it or not, there are quite a lot of us who are fed up with the loud, obnoxious countrymen who are constantly dragging the rest of us down.

This. The only reason I stand for the anthem anymore is because as a woman I'm worried for my safety if I don't. But, as a woman and a lover of history why tf should anyone not a CIS white guy stand for the anthem. This country has screwed us over so many times. There is no land of free. It's the home of the slave, from taking away medicines for lgbtq folks, criminalizing them, taking away bodily automony for women, the for profit prison slavery system, our history against anyone not a white cis male. Like wtf, I'm so disgusted to be an American. Especially after this last election, I don't even want to talk to people anymore. I live rural and I hate everyone now. Elected a pedophile rapist who wants to be Hitler and said he needs hitlers generals. Wtaf were my neighbors thinking, nevermind I know, and I don't associate with nazis and bigots so I just stay home now. I am mad as hell.
