When these things happen I am always surprised by my own reaction. I am a lot more patriotic than I know. I care about this country very deeply. For five days I have had the song God Bless the USA with the one line “I’m proud to be an American” running through my head like an ear worm.
The same thing happened to me on 9/11. I got an American flag for the first time ever and put it up in my office.
I can’t even explain this reaction. It’s very deep. I don’t care to. I like this reaction. I like wanting to be close to everyone in my country.
Yesterday, I read something that said that Biden may be terminal with something. It is probably incorrect (most info is these days) but it made me very sad too.
I always knew I am an incredibly loyal person. I guess that extends to patriotism.
I heard about it late that day, and the report made it clear he was fine before explaining that he was shot, which I am frankly surprised took this many years to come about. So I can't say I *felt* much about it. I was surprised how much the Blue/Left retreated from their vitriol, as if they didn't all just spend eight years publicly (and it turns out, performatively) wishing for this moment. Don't worry, it will be as short-lived as the post-9/11 "bipartisanship." I already knew these people were "cultural supremacists," and I've already written (in their voice) "Your every word, your very name, is just a TARGET I will defame." I was talking about PR and lawfare, but they've only proven my point more.

Anyway.
God (if you’re there) please bless the USA.
Amen.
And your experiences very closely reflect my own.
