Methinks the country has similar sentiments about you. Happy 4th anyway!

Let's leave the politics out of this holiday.

We will take it back when Trump get sworn in on January 1 and make America great again.

Wow, he's so good that he's taking office 19 days early.

He's really shaking things up in Washington already.

People bash me for not having a flag in front of my house
and then I have to hear this "so-called patriots" that hang the flag upside down trying to preach to me how to be patriotic.

Chill dude. Flags, shaking hands, volunteering, all the above equally achieve the same goal. Just chill

People get so caught up in things that have been repeated for decades, that they don't even stop to think about what they are doing. In the modern American way though, the quick and simple approach is to to stick up a flag and say "Yep, I'm patriotic", rather than track down someone in the community who actually put their life on the line and shake their hand. Gee, thanks.

Move back to Germany :-) C'mon you know this is still the best place in the world. I travel way too much to appreciate this country.

I don't agree. But assuming you were right, that is one sad state of affairs for the world.
