rob the jewelry store and tell 'em make me a grill

At first I was sad about this (yes, reading something random about how voting doesn't matter in DC was what reminded me, but I really hope I already knew this, deep down): District of Columbia voting rights.  Please note that this won't affect me until/unless I actually become a resident of D.C.
Then I realized, "hey, I hate Congress anyway."  Although I probably hate it for different reasons than most Americans these days.

This dude is most likely going to be the next senator from Nebraska and he's yet another dead-in-the-eyes vomitorium.  He says things like "I’m a fifth generation Nebraskan whose ancestors came to this country and found the American Dream. They did it right and they did it legally, and so can others." and "Life begins at conception, period." and even the issues he supposedly gives a fuck about get only six sentences of his time (also, "equal treatment" is an issue that matters to Nebraskans?  I'm pretty sure most of the corruption around here involves the football team).  Although you gotta give him credit for that Second Amendment logo, the gun barrel + Constitution.  That is class.
I have a feeling the Democrat/Republican divide in DC is going to get ridiculous to me very fast.  My instructor from last summer explained that there is a small box within which your politics have to reside to be a viable candidate (or public speaker), and both the Democrats and Republicans fit into this box, and it is a very small box.  I am not in this box - this should surprise no one.

On the other hand, I took a quiz asking if I was a Patriotic American (TM) and it said I was.  Because I believe in the "philosophy" of America.  Even though I got 15% on American pride.

"Equal treatment" reminds me of that driving class I had to go to when I totaled my car, where the police officer teaching talked about how annoyed he was when people slowed down in front of him, and one black man in the class, when we introduced ourselves with why we were there, was like "I was driving four miles above the speed limit."

Yeah, it would not surprise me that the quiz says that about you. What quiz is this, though?

Holy god.

? It's really not surprising to me. It must've sucked to not only have that, but then hear the officer say that about people being too slow, and have Alex Barth there for going 20mph over (and pretty much everybody else there for more serious shit), though.

Quiz seems more than a little biased. Didn't know how to answer some of the questions, tbh. But I got "somewhat" patriotic. About half philosophy, 6% pride, and 33% involvement, woo.

It's not surprising to me either. The juxtaposition just... sucks, as you said.

Yeah, it's a quiz with an agenda, and some of the questions are very Extreme 1 vs Extreme 2 (or false extreme 1 vs false extreme 2). My mom got somewhat patriotic too. I'm surprised you managed to get such a low pride score.
