I was talking to one of my friends and he mentioned staying home on July 4, citing how there are a lot of really ugly things going on in the US.
After thinking about this myself, I’m starting to feel the same way. Instead of being proud of the country, I’m feeling like I’m just another wallet that companies and the government are trying to suck all the money out of.
The cost of living is going up, the housing market is a nightmare, I don’t feel very confident in our government at all, the job market is a nightmare…
I think I’ll be staying home this year too… anyone else?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, but HOW THE FUCK could I EVER be proud of this country anymore??? We’ve done nothing to deserve respect or patriotism.
Y’all suck harder than my grandma without her teeth. Choose that president twice, y’all evil and insane.
Why are you attacking a person who obviously is opposed to the current administration? Like, I understand your sentiment, but this person ain’t the one.
I’m traveling outside the US. Got a decent price on the flights too
I live abroad, so I can just ignore the whole stupid thing. 😄
Being a Brit, for years I’ve jokingly referred to the 4th of July as ‘Rebellion Day’ to my USian friends. Not sure I’m joking any more, just hopeful. Go on. Rebel!
Not at all, but I’ll take the paid day off
I think you mean No Kings Day.
How many will die on July 4th? What parade will be targeted? Who will be the next mass murderer? Stay home for your safety people. Too many crazies out there now to do anything in public.
Can’t type… Robot AI dog is following me…gotta keep running. Freedom!
I don’t even like to call myself American. I’m a veteran, and it turned me off of America more than anything.
There’s nothing left to be proud of. Just vague platitudes about freedom and performative military worship that have been socially beaten into people since 2001. I have no faith remaining in my fellow countrymen. I am unable to clearly see a future for myself living here as I am now. What is left to be patriotic about?
All the true patriots are dead. They were buried long ago. Modern patriotism is a marketing gimmick. I refuse to be a party to it.
I’m not doing anything for the forth. Fuck America, I am not celebrating my country, because my country wants me dead. Fuck em.
The only celebration I will engage in this year is protest or subversive guerilla action
I’m a pyro by nature, and love things that go boom. But yeah, not doing anything tomorrow.
Yup.
While walking the dog I keep tabs on houses that have flags up, and there has been an uptick for about a month now. I assume it’s for the 4th, but I’m curious who will keep their flags up.
I’ve also noticed that some people keep putting theirs up then taking them down, and I wonder what changes…
