I think my favorite part about it is that after all the sideways talk we heard about who’s really an american and who really loves this country, this election season is ending with one of the most inclusive and genuine moments of patriotism of our lifetime.
A reminder that patriotism is not about pretending this country is already perfect, it’s about believing that this country can always be better.
That there is no truer patriotism than valuing our founding principles enough to know that they’ve never been fully realized.
And having faith that we can always keep working towards those perfect ideals.
