Exactly 👍🏽 stand together or stand for nothing

It is called the UNITED States for a reason. I think people forget that. 😓

Amen! 🙏🏻

It’s a pretty large geographical area to unite. I’m surprised we made it this far.

I appreciate the sentiment in today's context, but I think we'd be better off forgetting red white and blue and thinking "red blooded." Nation states are too much of a problem in today's day and age. Time and place often come with an unfair burden.

I don’t think that’s the right direction either. Too loaded a phrase.

Its been purposly infiltrated by a lot of red... and not the conservative type.

I think it worked out so far because each state can govern itself. But things are becoming more surveiled and draconian because there's always a perpetual war or terror or whatever excuse. So things are breaking apart ironically. I could be wrong, but that's the vibe I get.

As power has been siphoned from the states and given to the federal government, so too has the political stability been siphoned away from our nation.

The social cohesion is gone and I’m seeing too much division, even on here.

Blue represents opportunity. The blue sky on the horizon, a horizon that we constantly strive to reach. We may be distracted by the treasures and comfort that we find, but we must continue to strive to achieve, to learn new things, and find new paths. White represents fairness. The white paper that we use to vote, the paper that we use to write our laws. With the rainbow of ideas, ideology, race and culture, the law must be written to be fair to everyone. This helps to ensure that we leave nobody behind as we strive toward that horizon. Red represents sacrifice. The red blood that is spilled on the battlefield, the tears that we shed in memory of those who have sacrificed everything. The sweat that comes from our efforts to regain what was lost. We must never forget those that we have lost, and we must be there to help the ones who have sacrificed for us.
