Oh absolutely LMAO. I hate how fucked our country is. I wish I could be "proud to be an American." but... Nah. Prolly not within my lifetime, unfortunately.

I am pretty proud of the moon landings, which my lifetime just barely overlaps with. Let's not talk about the role ex-Nazis played in that shit. Smoked brisket is pretty good, too.

I'm proud of food here in general tbh, just the way different cultures got together with different ingredients and made something wholey unique? thats cool.

Speaking of that, in spite of the racism, we're somehow one of the better countries with accepting other cultures. Thats something to be proud of too.

You make a good point tbh. Just cause some stuff is bleak doesnt mean everything is. I can be proud where pride is due, but acknowledge the flaws and pain without hypocrisy.
