    Is it just me? I am seeing less and less.instances of the US being referred to as the land of the free.

      Not gonna lie I stopped standing for the flag after his first presidency. I refuse to pledge allegiance to a country that allows this to happen within its walls.

        I used to get frission when I heard the national anthem, now it gives me an overwhelming feeling of disappointment and longing for the past when it felt like we were the good guys. Of course, that is probably rosy retrospection anyway… the more I learn the more it seems like the US is Homelander and always has been.
