This post and today in general has just reminded me I need to stay away from social media. How in the world have so many young, smart, and generally turned on people turned to fervent nationalism? Protesting is a damn American past time. There's no differentiation within my peers between patriotic protest and straight disrespect towards the flag/country. I've seen nothing but vilifying those who protest-and no mentions of what and/or why they're protesting. It's absolutely terrifying.

I don't really have anything to add-I just needed to say something here so I didn't go off on some long rant no one wants to read on Facebook.
