these comments suck you pessimistic freaks. we were a land of people running from theocracy, monarchy, and debt. did we still suck? yes. but if you are fighting a government without the hope that it can be better than what are you even fighting for?
Nothing disappoints me more than seeing an “America 250” banner above the entrance of a Mexican restaurant 😭

Look im not pessimistic im highly involved in making my community better and i love to see us give eachother strength but i by no means have to be patriotic to do that. I am against the state and to see all the performative patriotism sucks

i’m sorry to anyone who wanted to read the comment exchange between me and #1. i got tired of getting constant notifications about a reply to every single one of my comments arguing every word choice i said.

Who’s pessimistic?? It’s a bourgeois revolution…. Not inspiring anymore all things considered esp when you factor in our current global attack on democracy

this comment reads exactly how a MAGA comment would read. “Who’s pessimistic?? It’s a socialist revolution…. Not inspiring anymore all things considered esp when you factor in their current global attack on democracy” 🫩

What are you talking about 😭 sorry I don’t feel inspired by a revolution for wealthy white land owning men off the backs of slavery and genocide?

you don’t have to feel inspired by them. feel inspired by the idea of standing up to a government that doesn’t care about its people. we aren’t in elementary school anymore, make july 4th about a reflection on a crooked past and a hope for a better future, not a history lesson

arguing someone who’s saying “we should have hope for our country” usually indicates that the person disagrees

OP. in the comments, OP was arguing the person who said we are celebrating what america should be. idk why you feel the need to respond to every single one of my comments to argue me, genuinely do you have nothing better to do??

Condemning America’s role in history and the world ≠ pessimism. Never once said anything pessimistic about the future. I’m actually extremely optimistic that things get better eventually. Esp compared to when I was a liberal like you. You can’t just put words in my mouth and call me maga for calling out slavery and genocide 😭

whether or not the OP of the quoted post meant to be pessimistic, that’s how it read and that’s what i was replying to. #1 disagreed and said that no one was pessimistic and no one was arguing against having hope for America. My assumption is #1 was OP of the post. I still stand strongly behind my stance that without hope for a better future, the fight becomes worthless. If that makes me a “liberal” (i’m assuming she said it derogatorily) then so be it.

#1’s opinions are also valid, I just don’t feel like wasting energy dissecting my every word choice and comment, even ones not addressed to them
