It saddens me to see those on the right who show great patriotic fervor, as I see someone who does not understand how far our country has fallen and how the US is past the point of being about freedom and liberty. Any politicians who evoke such words do so knowing that they are full of shit, and those that still believe them are blind.
I don't think they can be saved, but I get tempted to think I can. But I realize it will most likely be a waste of effort.
I love what America is supposed to be, not what it has become/is becoming. I was once blind to the transformation, and I had genuine patriotism. But no more. I cannot love a country that has literal and figurative homosexuality as its highest priority. I cannot love a country that has blatantly stolen elections and a government that circumvent the 1st Amendment with "it's a private company" while actively taking part in censoring "misinformation" themselves.
