New York City’s socialist mayor, Zohran Mamdani, tried to play nice on the Fourth of July with a post that suddenly discovered the word 'patriotism,' but not before reminding everyone that real love for America means obsessing over its flaws and turning every holiday into a lecture on 'righteous dissent.'
Yawn.
So edgy.
This comes just days after his earlier speech, which spent more time crapping all over the country’s history, founders, and current state than celebrating anything. The contrast was lost on no one, especially conservatives who watched the Ugandan-born mayor’s latest attempt at sounding like a normal American fall completely flat.
Here's his so-called 'patriotic' post:
Today marks 250 years since a small group of newspaper editors, farmers, and soldiers signed a document declaring our nation’s independence — a truth that feels self-evident now but was revolutionary then.

What a privilege us Americans have, to live in a nation that every one of…
Post continues:

Today and all days, let us remember that patriotism is not pretending our nation is without flaws. Patriotism is every act of righteous dissent — because loving our country means fighting for the best version of it.
Happy Fourth of July, New York City.
Yeah. Sure, Zohran.
Why can't Democrats just celebrate our country? Is it really that hard? No country is perfect, duh, but it's ok to talk about how absolutely badass America is without any side comments about flaws.
Just love America.
It's not hard.
