@sfleetucker It's incredibly bad, my area is pretty hard red. Very... "proudly patriotic", to put it gently.

I hate it here.

@Tail Sorry to hear that. Please stay safe. And we really need to fix the word "patriot."

@sfleetucker Agreed. That's the kicker, having it ingrained into their minds so deeply their ego is too afraid to let go of it. Just like all the people who work during the lockdowns. We use and abuse them but we don't make their conditions any better, we just call them "Heroes" and let them hold onto that.

Patriots support the people of their country. Being okay with letting 600k fellow countrymen die needlessly is the exact opposite of patriotic.
