I usually don't get political on this [YouTube] channel (though I'm sure you've noticed my position on gay rights), but it's the 4th of July (at least where I am now), the day our country the USA gained its independence, and since I moved back to the States from overseas...I've found no reason to celebrate. I loved America because it was a sanctuary for people who wanted freedom. That's why the pilgrims and subsequent immigrants came in the first place. But now...this year has been especially aggravating for me. With the election, Trump's annoying remarks (it's no secret that I'm a democrat, though this guy is making me miss Bush), gun violence (btw, citizens weren't allowed guns in the last country I lived in and surprise, surprise, significantly less gun-related deaths), discrimination against *insert minority here*...every time I go on the news there's something like this. And I'm ashamed. Ashamed of my country.
There's no doubt the "Land of the Free" needs to start living up to its name. I figured the best I could do was make this video to remind people what America is SUPPOSED to mean. I know there will be a lot of hate, and I am taking a big risk posting this on this channel, but I don't care. I have seen more ugly comments on the online news the past year than I've seen on this channel alone.
Bottom line: if we let people like Donald Trump win, then everything Americans have struggled to build over the past two and a half centuries will have gone to waste.
It's sad because it's true
How true.
Burn it all down and start over!!!
