I’ll go. I’m still proud of every American who has held in there through these 8 years and not given up on turning things around. We know what it is to live free and despite all the obstacles ahead there is still places that you can experience it.

    Even though there is a tsunami of hate, more than half the country is outraged and truly wants to defend those being targeted. I’m still proud of that, it’s the propaganda that affects the 30+% of the population that really sucks…

    Remember: the entire population doesn’t vote. Roughly half of the voting population chooses this hatred.

      I guess apathy is slightly better than hate, but it’s kind of hard to be proud that so many people see all this hate and chose to not vote.

        Let’s not ignore all the efforts Republican governments have put into making it much more difficult for certain communities to vote

        The apathy is definitely aggravating as well is the “both sides are terrible so I’m not participating at all.” My mom is one of the latter for sure :/
