    That narcissistic fake patriotism never resonated with me. Don’t get me wrong, I love my country and the people in it but I wouldn’t tolerate a person that was “me first” because it’s obnoxious. I think the reason people latch onto it is to feel better about themselves. It’s like racism. People like to imagine others beneath them. It takes no effort at all on their part

      This is also how reality TV works and why everyone involved is so amazingly awful.
