I see this a lot but all the people I know who are the most ardent 2nd amendment adherents are also big time supporters of the government going after everyone they don't approve of. I mean the people who are going to push Project 2025 on us are also huge gun lobbyists.
Yeah, its watching libertarians flying both the "Don't Tread on Me" Gadsden flag and also the Blue Lives Matter flag. So...don't tread on me but feel free to put your cop boot on someone else's neck.
It's peak "Fuck you got mine" Americana.

For those who feel flying two flags is too hard…

It would be a civil war, not an everyone vs government thing

lol no amount of guns anyone has could be able to protect them from the government. I’m not advocating for banning guns at all but yeah I feel believing any of us can be protected from the damn government is definitely not true.
What is with this hypothetical Americans bring up a lot anyway, is it that the government is going after all Americans household by household or is it a civil war? Makes no sense I need clarification but it probably looks different depending who mentioned the hypothetical
Yes, it does look different based on whos saying it. But knowing our militarys track record with geurila forces, I dont think it's all that unrealistic
Ah yes my Rifle I bought from Scheels is going to DESTROY the national guard. Drone warfare? Forget about it I've got my 2A RIGHTS AND WE'LL WIN AND WONT GET DEMOLISHED AT ALL
Yeah I'm sure the descendants of those who went to Liberia are very happy that their ancestors made the right choice and left the US, minorities have it much better there.
Americans, know your rights:
- Speak freely
- Assemble peacefully
- Be free to believe what you want to believe
These are your birthrights, they are not granted to you by the government, they are *inherent to you* and it's the Constitution's job to protect them
“You’re a grand old flag, you’re a high flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave
You’re the emblem of the land I love
And the home of the free and the brave!”
(I like this one best because I sang it to a group of old people in a nursing home when I was little and it was a lot of fun)
You didn't show up in ww1 until it was over. And you were so late to WW2 that the outcome was given you just helped speed it up. Before Pearl Harbor many of you supported Hitler.
Hey! History nerd here! Every time someone likes to shit on America during the world wars they love to bring up how late they joined, and while yes your correct we must also remember the work the US did behind the scenes! We’ll start with WWI: Near the end of the war both sides were extremely drained after years of fighting in filthy trenches, loosing thousands of soldiers for a few feet of land, the U.S. was giving the allies a fighting chance with their continued support through *supply lines*. Eventually we all know the Zimmerman Telegram that launched the US into the war, with the arrival of fresh new troops, this have the allies the boost they needed to finally breakthrough and end the war!
Now with WWII: Yes there were a lot of people in America who were supportive of Germany when the war began, this is because America has a huge German population, so at the wars beginning the were supportive of their country, however when they saw the atrocities committed by Hitler and the Nazis they quickly changed sides.
And once again, after the fall of France Germany began air raids across the U.K. Hoping to starve them into quitting the war. But with continued U.S. support via supplies they were able to hold on, and again with the addition of fresh American troops they were able to get back into the fight.
Now to the Pacific Theatre. The U.S. was the only country stopping the Imperial Navy from taking over everything, at the time Japan was the largest naval force in the world, none of the weaker Asian and pacific countries and islands could stand a chance against them.
I can understand WWI to a degree but the fuck are you on about for WWII? We still gave up 4 yrs and 400,000 lives fighting the evil shit going on in Europe and the Pacific. Fuck us and our contribution I guess.
Also, legit fascists and Nazis were a minority here. A lot of the “pro-“ Nazis were also generally isolationists but they changed their tune quick as fuck when IJN Zeros attacked Pearl Harbor.
You guys know he was already president right? And you know the nation didn’t collapse, even in the midst of a global pandemic and economic crisis right?
Paid for by over seas propaganda that some numb nuts fell for and spread like a disease at home. Congratulations if they keep it up maybe Putin or Xi will give them a cookie.
Some of y'all infuriate tf out of me but I'll be damned if I'm not willing to put my life on the line for this country, flaws and all. God bless all the states and beyond.
I was happier when living in Canada knowing how rare gun violence is compared to the US. Please don’t take that for granted, it’s horrible how much the US loves guns and I wish I could’ve stayed in Canada :(
I believe if you remove the cities where guns are heavily restricted and or banned the US drops to the bottom 10% in countries with gun crime. I’ll have to find the source on that again
It’s horrible that I love my right to have the tools necessary to defend myself and my loved ones? Who knew that democratizing violence was a bad thing.
It feels like a funeral for the republic that died a few days ago. We have kings again.
Edit: the people who doenvoted me did not read the actual ruling. Don't rely on Fox News. Read Justice Sotamoyer's dissent. She laid out in very clear language what this ruling gives the president the power to do. Trump already posted on social media about holding military tribunals for his political opponents.
I like your optimism. The naiveté of people on here is depressing. You only have to read Justice Sotamoyer's dissent or Trump's own post on social media about holding military tribunals for his political opponents to know how bad this is. It has to be willful ignorance.
Yes I would love to suck the dick of the country that can't provide me with basic human rights. Drowning in medical debt is something that I would love to thank my country for. HOORAH
Sooooooo many choices. I’d say DC just because it’s the capital, plus the Smithsonian museums are world class (and free!). I’d also consider Philadelphia since it has Independence Hall and was where the Constitution was ratified/signed. Someone else mentioned Boston too and that’s not a bad answer.

Love my country, hate my government. Love the fact that I can hate my government without repercussions USA USA USA
My favorite comment. Also if the government tried coming after us we have the second amendment for this very reason.

Republicans larping as libertarians lol
Not sure why your being downvoted. You're correct.
Because the exact people they’re talking about are HEAVY in this subreddit
Most people whom we would call "gun nuts" dont trust the government nor law enforcement.
I’m as liberal as they come and I fucking love th le second amendment. If project 2025 includes taking that away, we’re gonna revolt til we die.
Exactly I agree with you we can't let our country be run by fascist if that does happen democracy is done
There's no way that the Heritage Foundation will go after the 2nd. They love that amendment.
They're not too crazy about the 13th amendment though!

What well-regulated militia are you in?
For now
Project 2025 aims to take that away.
This is the modern American spirit. Love me country. Hate the government. Simple as.
This is the American way. Our country is strong due to the PEOPLE not a government
I hate the government because I love my country🇺🇸
Love my country, hate my government. Isn't the whole idea behind America that the government is ultimately responsible to the people?
For now. This might be the last 4th you can enjoy freely.
Not for long if you don’t vote this year
For a few months yet
Yeah but don’t actually attempt to do something about you should ask Fred Hampton what happened when he tried ohhh wait…
I feel the same, but about Poland.
Amen!

freedom for who? not minorities
Yes, America has freedom for minorities, too.
Not for 248 years
Yeah I'm sure the descendants of those who went to Liberia are very happy that their ancestors made the right choice and left the US, minorities have it much better there.

Screw that britisher song. In this house we only play the [star spangled banner](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ)
Not a British song. It was Americanized to be even better. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I’m partial to God Bless America to be honest.
*drum beat intensifies* Americaaaaaaaa FUCK YEAH!
I prefer the battle hymn of the republic myself

And I’m celebrating our independence by doing the most retired American man thing possible: playing golf (im 15)
Im doing my part by scrolling Reddit all day and listening to Rock and Roll BBY
Can't believe we only got 2 years before the semiquincentennial.
Trump will have destroyed the country and democracy by then.
clam up captain killjoy
I’m excited to brother 💪🏻🇺🇸
That’s gonna be a huge year because we’re also hosting the ~~olympics~~ FIFA World Cup. Our economy will boom Edit: world cup not olympics
All those songs are wrong. Real ones know the only option is ‘Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue’ by Mister Tobey Keith.

Not the W we expected but a W nonetheless 🫡
Technically wasn’t a world war as the comment states. 2-0 keep crying

It may be the last real one. Mark it.
1776-2025, greatest democracy in the world thrown away for a rapist
You guys know he was already president right? And you know the nation didn’t collapse, even in the midst of a global pandemic and economic crisis right?
Wait, is it because of project 2025?

I LOOOOOVE AMERICA!!!!!!!
I feel like as I've gotten older holidays have meant less and less I don't remember the last time I set off or even bought a firework
and the supreme court just murdered the constitution.
Did you know you can’t have freedom with free and fair elections? I hope you all are registered to vote!
Happy independence day my southern brothers.
I'm not celebrating due to a lack of independence.
You’re free to do so 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅
I’m so disappointed in this country.
We all are in some way shape or form. But let’s be happy we aren’t living in North Korea.
Very true.
then leave
Prepare for the Semiquincentennial!
💥🇺🇲🦅
Happy Independence Day to the transatlantic bros, may they preserve their freedom and democracy for another 248 years.
Hopefully this isn’t the last birthday of America celebration
Looking forward how many civil rights you guys will roll back the coming years. Maybe slavery making a comeback in 2030? I'm stoked.
The fear mongering returns!!

I had hoped to go into the military. Unfortunately bendy spine syndrome is a wee bit of a disqualifier.
Good luck getting any support once your out! America loves to put on a facade that they care about veterans while screwing them over all the time
PRAISE THE LORD AND PASS THE AMMUNITION SO WE CAN ALL BE FREE
Wish we had the 2nd amendment in canada 😢 can't even buy handguns anymore

That is a tall order at this point.
Not if we fight like hell it's what real patriots have done and it's what we will do

Another year without healthcare. Woohoo 😐🙄
Who needs Healthcare when you have the facade of freedom and the liberty to buy as many guns as you want!!
This just proves DD/MM/YYYY is the superior date format xD ggs on beating the bri ish, from switzerland :D
Idk what the fuck we celebrating man this shit ass
Found the bitchy boy
This is the one day where every American citizen, right or left, can actually come together on something!
Not necessarily. Check some of these comments.
Okay, fair...most of us. A day where most of us can come together.
Touché.
If America was never independent, slavery woulda ended 40 years sooner. That is somebody's life.
Sadly people can’t leave political opinions behind :( happy 4th tho
Yes I would love to suck the dick of the country that can't provide me with basic human rights. Drowning in medical debt is something that I would love to thank my country for. HOORAH

AAAAAAAAAAAWAY DOWN SOUTH IN THE LAND OF TRAITORS
I hate this country. I have to work on independence day when I should be out fucking around with illegal fireworks with my buddies.
As a Canadian and seeing your 250th is in 2 years. Where should I visit to celebrate your countries 250th birthday?
Boston. Where the spirit of America was born.
Boston, Chicago, Yellowstone, there’s a lot of stuff do do in this country
Sooooooo many choices. I’d say DC just because it’s the capital, plus the Smithsonian museums are world class (and free!). I’d also consider Philadelphia since it has Independence Hall and was where the Constitution was ratified/signed. Someone else mentioned Boston too and that’s not a bad answer.

Not an American, but I seriously think *My Country Tis' of Thee* would make a better anthem than the current one.
It was the unofficial national anthem until 1931
too similar to the British one. Columbia the Gem of the ocean is much better
I would like to buy a American flag, cause most of my online friends are from the states
at least someone is getting into the spirit of the holiday
Happy 2 years less than 250
Sweet land of kill em all and let em die
I love everything the USA stands for, and I believe it’s never to late fix our government. It’s up to us
“Sweet land of liberty!”
2 years left until we implode probably
Happy traitors day guys 🇬🇧🤝🇺🇲
You will be singing a different tune next year if the Trump fascists get back into the White House.
