AND JUST NOW, OF EVERY SINGLE BITCH THAT IS BUYING AN AMERICAN FLAG T-SHIRT FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY OR ANY AMERICA MERCH. OKAY, SIDE EYE, SIDE EYE, THINK SIDE EYE. THINK THINK THREE TIMES. THINK A FOUR TIME. THINK A FOUR TIME. MY T-SHIRT? MY SHORTS SAY U S A, TOO. AND THIS IS JUST A SNEAK PEEK OF WHAT I'LL BE WEARING ON THE FOURTH. HERE'S THE THING. YOU CAN LOVE YOUR COUNTRY WITHOUT LOVING EVERY POLITICIAN, EVERY ADMINISTRATION, OR EVERY DECISION MADE BY THE GOVERNMENT. PATRIOTISM ISN'T ABOUT AGREEING WITH EVERYTHING. IT MEANS LOVING YOUR COUNTRY WHILE ALWAYS HOPING TO MAKE IT BETTER. IF YOU TRULY BELIEVE AMERICA HAS NOTHING TO OFFER AND HATE EVERYTHING IT STANDS FOR, THEN WHY STAY? THIS COUNTRY ISN'T PERFECT, BUT IT'S STILL ONE OF THE GREATEST PLACES IN THE WORLD BECAUSE OF THE FREEDOMS WE ENJOY AND THE PEOPLE WHO CONTINUE WORKING TO MAKE IT STRONGER. PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN. GOD BLESS AMERICA, AND HAPPY 4TH OF JULY.
