Your hot take about how America's a very bad country that's awful to live in on a national holiday's is very edgy and not tired at all.

Isn’t it comforting that every Independence Day, we can look forward to lefties whining about how much this country sucks? Joy Reid was only too happy to take her turn:
It's a strange Independence Day with a president who embarrasses us, his supine, shameless Party Men-and the millions who just don't care. https://t.co/M77P4PRTfx

Joy’s in good company, at least:

I'm British and embarrsssed for you all. When you think he can't get any worse, he proves you wrong, every time!

First time in my long life I feel a genuine sadness on this holiday. Division, bigotry, hatred – hardly a United States of America.

I just can't with July 4 anymore. The more I look at history, the more I think it should be a day of atonement, not celebration.

This 4th I have no pride or excitement for our country.

Sadly, I don't feel like celebrating this July 4th.

Doesn't feel like a celebratory day, we are no longer an independent country. #Trump has mortgaged us to Putin.

I feel like this July 4th is more of a Wake than a celebration. Trump has defiled this nation.

My heart breaks. Our country has been hijacked.

Honestly I'm not celebrating it's a sad Terrible time for the country with a mad man leading it
— Davey boy (@Kenshiro73) July 4, 2017
Feel the same. Have no desire to celebrate.

This year I don't feel very celebratory. America is not great anymore. We are the laughing stocks of the world. #FourthOfJuly #trump #fail

Not much to celebrate, except the stunning courage of journalists like you, Joy Reid, and the millions of protestors who keep resisting. pic.twitter.com/vWYvl3M2cI

Joy Reid is fortunate enough to live in the freest nation on earth, where she can trash-talk it to her heart’s content without fear of punishment. On this day, Reid should be grateful for her right to be stunningly ignorant about what it means to be an American.

Since when is America’s worth based on its politicians?
America isn't the president.
America isn't a personality cult.
I'm afraid you've missed the point entirely. https://t.co/fpC4SoHyGG

Distinguish between our great nation and #Trump. #WeDrawTheDistinctions #July4th

My love for this country doesn't hinge on one president. I love that my fellow Americans can choose someone I disagree with. https://t.co/ohc3CUoTEZ

One can love one's country and not all of its politicians. That's been the case many times. We can still fly the flag on a great experiment.

Amen to that.
