American pride is something unique to Americans. Over the past two decades up until Trump’s presidency, 81%-92% said they were extremely proud of their American identity, the Gallup data showed. Only this year, the numbers of extremely proud Americans dropped to a record low of 45%.

On the other hand, this alone shouldn’t be reason enough to forget such a seemingly basic fact as what your country’s flag actually looks like. But for some people, a few stars here and there don’t make that big of a difference, until someone points out this is the Liberian flag, or the Chilean flag, or the Malaysian flag.

The cursed emoji everyone has been throwing around may look like the spitting image of an American flag, but hey, guys, why don't we all get our stars, stripes, and proportions right? In the meantime, I can’t deny there’s an element of hilarity to all this. And a big one.

Too often, Americans seem to mix these two flags together:

I wonder how these trump followers feel after realising they are using a flag from an African nation

The American flag is the quintessential element of American pride that has been embedded in the nation's DNA since the country's early years. But these past years, the US has been undergoing extreme political and social challenges that have been making its citizens rethink American pride and its values.

The percentage of Americans expressing extreme pride in the country has been declining over the past 20 years, but recently it took a more extreme turn. The latest Gallup data gathered from a May 28-June 4 poll found that less than a quarter of Americans, 20%, are satisfied with the way things are going in the US. Meanwhile, presidential approval fell to 39%.

The avatar he has is also a very famous Soviet anti-religious poster with Yuri Gagarin flying in space and proclaiming that there is no God in the heavens. So this person has multiple dysfunctions.

But Gallup also notes that extreme pride is down among all major subgroups since 2016. In particular, Democratic-leaning groups that include young adults aged 18-29, women, college graduates, and non-whites have been increasingly less likely to express extreme pride over the years.

Interestingly, the Gallup findings showed that Republicans’ national pride marks the largest decline in extreme pride, with a 9% decrease spotted in 2020.

Respect has to be earned. The tangerine toddler has done nothing to earn some respect. Not even acknowledging that he lost the elections in a fair and unrigged democratic process.

China made and printed the box and since the box was already in China they also made the contents.

idk, I get the joke, but what do you expect them to do, make 50 metal stars? There also aren't the right amount of stripes. I call this one "interpretive."

The south does not need to rise again. Good grief. I was born, raised, and unfortunately still in the south. We need to catch up with the rest of the world's thinking. We need to stop flying the Confederate flag, realize TRUMP LOST and start being progressive instead of oppressive. I swear some people around here want to go back to the 1850's.

Of course they prefer the so called "Blue Lives Matter" flag. As if being a cop isn't an actual choice and you can take off the uniform at anytime. Can't say the same for skin color.

Why would wearing masks end mask mandates? Perhaps because mandate wouldn't be necessary if people just wore masks? Or perhaps people would refuse to wear such really ugly masks in the name of good taste?

Sure. Don't call them masks. Call them "Face Cover" and then the delusional retrumplicans will wear them.
