How to celebrate the Fourth of July when America is a constant disappointment

Saw this posted today by a shithead coworker of mine. Looks to be a year old but holy shite. Can’t imagine going through life like this.
It keeps going but you get the point.

America has always been bad, no matter who the president is or was. Since Trump’s election, however, the qualities that make America particularly bad—racism, sexism, homophobia, the institutionalized manifestations of each of these, et cetera—have been emboldened, forcing many people to reckon with the ugly reality of their beloved USA. “This is not America,” I keep hearing. But the truth of the matter is that family separation, a disregard for Black lives, homophobia, and every other incarnation of white male supremacy are exactly what America is made of. In light of that, celebrating the Fourth of July in the spirit of patriotism may sound far from appealing. Here are some alternative ways to celebrate the Fourth of July that include less blind nationalism and more uplifting communities that American institutions have so long worked against

If you’re hosting a get-together, consider setting an intention for the function that finds something to celebrate about America that isn’t simple nationalism, possibly focusing a minority community you belong to. Invites could say something like, “I’m having a get-together to celebrate the resilience of [insert marginalized community] in America,” as one option.

As you shop for food and party supplies, try buying from businesses owned and operated by indigenous people or other communities who face systemic disadvantages in the US.

She’s a trashy leftist so if she does, he’s probably very low T

I'm gonna stick with the theory that you can judge the greatness of a country by the ratio of people dying to get in versus dying to get out. Feel free to share that with your loser coworker.

I always wonder why people like this don't just leave to their better country.

America’s poor and ethnic/racial minorities have an exponentially better quality of life than any lower class anywhere else in world history.

Probably closer to any middle class+ on a global scale.

Despite historical prosperity, Progressives are convinced they inhabit a Dystopian Passion Play. It’s a mental health issue grounded in grievance and entitlement.

Why can't these people just get the frick out? If they don't like it, why don't they just pack their shite and move abroad? What's stopping them? Seriously, if I were that miserable, I would make a change.

Is it possible that we can get them some psychiatric assistance?
