As a Canadian in Canada, America has problems. We do too. Health care, gun violence. I think America is a decent country but going around saying 'we're great' seems to just be a way to live in la la land.
My other point is because America basically runs the world, other countries especially Canada and Mexico, watch how you present yourselves so yes the messaging of a politician isn't just for the Americans but for the international community.
Since you’re Canadian, you should be very aware of the constant messaging that you are racist, sexist, transphobic, homophobic, and owe any success you may have solely to the state giving you “privileged” status.
Americans have spent years being told that the world despises them, our entire existence revolves around “white supremacy” and that if you aren’t the current preferred victim, not only do you not deserve to be proud of your accomplishments or your community, but you don’t even deserve to be happy.
Financial security, a decent job, safe and effective education for yourself and your family, even being safe from criminal violence and hordes of illegal immigrants raiding your community, are all things that the average American has watched slip away over the last 20 years, but especially in the last 3. All while being told we’re “privileged” for even believing we’re worth something.
And you’re right, America basically does run the world. And it does it on the backs and brains of Americans. We willingly send trillions abroad to support people who despise us while we are struggling more everyday. Our sons and daughters get sent to shitholes that will always be shitholes, because some corporation needs to increase shareholder profit by .25%. Our military strength allows socialized medicine and generous benefits to be provided to citizens all over the world because they (Canada especially) knows America is always ready to swing its giant military industrial complex dick around when needed.
And
still people in those same countries will look down at Americans, who, despite all that, still understand that we need to be the last bastion of the worlds ever dwindling freedoms even while our own government whacks away at ours.
So yeah, having someone, anyone, tell Americans that not only are they great, but
they deserve to be, matters. Being masters of our own fate and the best at what we do is what drives us. It’s why this anti-American progressive bullshit needs to be crushed. The world fucking depends on it.
Sorry for the sperg, it’s heartfelt.
tl;dr America - Fuck Yeah
