Mixed emotions "Just because I'm wearing the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the US.”
Happy he can use free speech and still be critical of the government, because no matter who is in power that's our job as citizens.
As people outside the US see Americans as a monolithic entity when in reality there's as much variance in regions as in east Europe and the only coalescing factor for fascists is that across the electoral college 30% of the voters choose the 💩🍊 and one in three decided to sit out this election.
