I just hate it when words like “patriotic” and “liberty” are twisted into unrecognizable dark fantasy manipulation to appeal to self serving con artists. You can’t apply a word like “joyful” to this kind bull shit unless you are selling to #STUPID.

A single failed shoe bombing 20 years ago and we’re still removing our shoes at airports. Mass shootings almost every day, but we do nothing about guns.
