Nothing unpatriotic about hating what's wrong about this place while thinking the potenital of what it could be and the times we get even close to those aspirations are beautiful and enough to make any good hearted American swell with pride.
Some people love their country like a child loves their parent. "My dad is strong and perfect and can beat up your dad." It's simple and mythological.
Some people love their country like an adult loves their peer. They see their flaws, but also their aspirations and intentions.
Many conservatives are like children.
Id say its more like a brother that I know could be doing better for himself but is instead repeatedly screwing up.
My deep disdain for this land and her leaders comes not from a hatred of it's meaning but from the truest form of patriotism. As a child raised on the lofty ideals of our founders, I stand as America's greatest failure. For the propaganda failed to inspire loyalty in my heart and served only to highlight how much better our nations could be.

The exact opposite. You're a rare success story. This nation is nothing without its ideals, and as long as it fails to live up to those ideals, we must agitate for it to change, regardless of who it upsets.
Are we kin cause I went through the same thing. I read the thoughts of the founders, of settlers, of those victimized by this country, and those uplifted by it. I saw its flaws and success read the works of the men who started it and found them lacking, but with a solid base. I wish to see this shithole of a country become something truly great. Be it through reform or blood it matters not to me. But I will ensure those who are fools those who are like children whos love is hollow platitudes with no true meaning are forced to live in a better country, even as they curse my actions I wish them to sleep with a full belly and a comfortable life. And those who are trully malicious, their bloody will water the tree of libery just as mine will.
Don't bring alligators and rattlesnakes into this, they did nothing wrong.
One might argue it's people's fault for being in a situation where the animal, following it's natural behaviours and instincts, reacted the way it predictably would.
Its because if you really love your country you want it to be the best it can be. which means improving itself rather than devolving. christians who are patriots should have signs saying america be worthy of gods blessing rather than god bless america.
I miss when the US was renowned for its peace corps, building wells and hospitals, helping communities which weren't relevant to our income, but were helped for the sake of helping.
I can only mind my small corner, though we all work on our own little projects which may have positive effects in a larger sense.
I grew up here and want to share our wealth with all who strive to benefit both team human, and mother nature. We must quest for good, both locally and globally, or die trying.
Hell, the founding fathers wanted to change this place too.
All the Founding Fathers: "Okay, so this is just a basic compromise position we've put down during a long political struggle with a lot of unpleasant concessions, we're just trying to make sure that the nation can choose its own path instead of-"
Certain People(tm) now: "CONSTITUTION SACRED WE ARE NOT A DEMOCRACY WHY DO YOU HATE AMERICA"
For fucking real bro, just ask them if they've actually read the Bible or constitution in it's entirety.
Crickets, every fucking time.
Take that one right over to !shermanposting@lemmy.world
Heh, don't worry - I posted it there first!
With the spelling mistake?
Yeah, I generally don't edit the memes I find because it's too much like work. I'm just a vector, sneezing on the Fediverse.
