      If you’re like me, it’s a great opportunity to ruin the family picnic with politics and pressuring maga relatives. Likely won’t change any minds, but maybe I’ll luck out and not get invited next year.

        9/11 ruined it for me, specifically the “proud to be an American”, flag on cars garbage—while we passed the Patriot act and started more wars.

        Yeah, patriotism always felt fucking weird as a kid growing up in the 90s.

        I’ve been pretty ashamed of my country for a long time.
