    I also used to believe America was a great country, but in my late 20s started to realize it’s bullshit

    Honestly I was 100% bought in when I was like 19. I’m still a big believer in what the Constitution stands for (at least as it means to me), but I fully understand that I got duped by the branding with that one. It has been exceptionally radicalizing and upsetting to see how few of my countrymen believe in the dream of America as I do. May we one day live up to our lofty ideals.
