I hear what you are saying but I'd note there's a big difference between "disdain for the US" vs. "disdain for the US government". I would think nearly every commenter here would agree with the latter while hopefully still recognizing the tremendous benefits of living here compared to much else of the world. When we lose gratitude it's an ugly, slippery slope into the victim mentality.

Agree. I think it’s time to emphasize that it’s not always R vs D’s; it’s the authoritarian govt vs the people.
