Someone who wasn’t alive at the time simply will not be able to understand how totally it took over all of culture and identity.
Can confirm, I was not alive and do not understand
In the before times you would only really see the US flag at post offices and schools. Maybe a flagpole in a strip mall. But only because McDonald’s wanted to fly their flag and it would be weird alone.
As a zoomer I’m kinda shocked by this. Americans being weepy flagwavers who display it anywhere they can just feels in-character to me, I never would’ve thought it wasn’t in front of people’s houses and shit back then.
Yeah I just can’t imagine Americans in the 90s not being 24/7 turbo jingos
