I love that I can walk around Walmart in my pajamas and no one gives a shit. I love that we have a god given right to fistfight in parking lots and Waffle Houses. I love living in a wild west where I can slip through the cracks of bureaucracy. Lots of things I don’t like about America but the social contract is paper thin, which can be freeing
it’s an easy thing to hate but at the end of the day i love america so much. like it’s so big and has so many cities and farms and people and sometimes i’m just like struck by an immense amount of gratitude and it’s like holy fuck i live here.
The liquor laws here are really crazy so any time you travel somewhere else it makes you look soooooo endearing when you go into a CVS and say “wow! look at all this Black Cherry White Claw! I never knew I could buy alcohol and tampons in the same credit card transaction!” And then you immediately get carded which is so flattering
