Amen, sista. The Constitution we swore our oath to ... it may as well be toilet paper to these
fucking ingrates. And this is the real thanks they give -- that "TYFYS" crap is just that, hollow words.
Am I bitter? Bet your ass.

I understand. The flag I took down is still in the closet where I store household goods. Every time I open the door to get something, I see the flag leaning against the wall and my heart hurts a little more.

It it helps (it probably doesn’t), most non-Americans don’t hate the US. We’re saddened - and a little fearful - by what it has become.

Thank you. I was born in 1957. I have seen a lot of changes in my time. Civil rights, women's rights, employment improvements, access to buildings and bathrooms and such for those who have disabilities, vaccines...so many things that have improved the lives of so many...not a perfect fix, but steps in the right direction. Now those things and so many others have been undone like the last nearly 68 years didn't even happen. If only my body felt that way.
I am disappointed and embarrassed by this country now. I am glad to know that others realize we here in the US aren't all a bunch of backwards assholes.

I am glad to know that others realize we here in the US aren't all a bunch of backwards assholes. I detest the US government and every single one who either supports it or is indifferent to its corruption, injustice and incompetence. I detest everybody who didnt vote against a second Trump administration. I detest everyone who supports the idea that the US should bully its former allies while pretending to be a victim of the global markets, when in fact it is its biggest profiteer. I detest everyone who betrays the constitution of his own fatherland, the USA (because he/she probably would too if he were MY countryman). I detest everyone watching all this with indifference.
I do not detest all americans, only those who fulfill the above criteria. This group however has reached a size too big to ignore, big enough to take over control (or letting other detestables take over control). Looking back at the world history of the past 100y there is NO excuse for America and Americans to not turn around and change course 180° from where its ship is going now. That burden is on you all, unfortunately.

It helps a little, sure. No one likes to be broad-brushed based on a leader's egregious shitty deeds.
What's really sad is that many Americans hate what the US is supposed to be. Where did our compassion go?
