    Patriotism is good. Nationalism is not the same thing.

    A Patriot takes pride in their nation, but also recognizes the areas where it can be improved.

    A Nationalist worships their country and anyone who suggests that it isn’t perfect is an enemy to be destroyed.

      The most patriotic thing an American can do is say the people they voted for aren’t doing enough.

      It just sucks both parties are against it these days

            Why aren’t you addressing any of the words in the image? Does your centrist brain not see them?

              Man, I thought it was weird before…

              But after I didn’t reply you went thru my post history and replied to like five old comments…

              What’s funniest is that my image was there to agree with you and support your comment

              I’m well aware you agreed with me. But just because someone agrees with me, doesn’t mean I agree with them.

      Not only recognizes but fights for that improvement because we’re better than that, god dammit. We aren’t the best there is and even if we were it’s not perfect.
