Tell that to my dead grandfathers that killed Nazis to save your asses along with global freedom and democracy. We have our warts like EVERYONE yet we're first to fall on the sword and eat shit like this. Fuck that. I'm not conceding my fucking country or its name. Especially to 250 year old allies with whom we formed the first West free of monarchs.
You hit the nail on the head! This is exactly why I think the American attitude to the French is so peculiar:
American culture should remember the role the French played in the American War of Independence (and the French great great great great great grandfathers who died for you) instead of defaulting to that weird and crass "cheese eating surrender monkeys" nonsense.
The ones with brains know. I'm not special. Remember which voices are typically loudest.
I'm not interested in mouth breathing MAGA crowd though.
I made this point here because too many people on the American left spout this particular rhetoric.
Idiots come in all ~~sizes~~ sides
Oh, sure. Let me rephrase. I'm not interested in the knuckle dragging mouthbreathers of any stripe.
Too many seemingly otherwise normal, educated US people seem to blindly lean in on this particular rhetoric.
I was listening to Dennis Leary's Asshole this morning realizing it was always both sides in this particular way. I knew maga when they were working class Dems. They didn't suddenly change values ten years ago
I haven't heard that song in forever! I'd forgotten how catchy it is.
Yes, exceptionalism seems to know no political boundaries.
It really is. Most generic 90s guitar music ever. Sandler did the same.
