they have every right to devolve into insane weaponized grievance mongering, and i have every right to point it out and laugh.
if you don't like it, there are other threads you may find more comforting.

The country is like any person; a mixture of bad and good. I can be critical of things I don't like without losing my love of my country. So I can enjoy the warm feeling when the Star Spangled Banner plays with the last brilliant explosions, and without guilt, feel that at that moment and in that place, all is well.
