We claim the name America like we're the only ones. I'm so sick of the "we're number one" attitude, especially since our trajectory is clearly downward. I have college educated relatives who are still high on Trump koolaid & I'm SMDH wondering what the fuck happened to these people? I used to respect them & truly admired some of them.
