In what world are liberals grateful for America? They want to abolish the senate, just spent a week trashing the entire justice system, and don't even think Thanksgiving is an occasion to celebrate in the first place.

Frank, we both understand that my comment doesn't apply to literally every single self-defining liberal in the country. But we're talking about a line that's pushed by the president and vice president, not some fringe opinion.

When Trump said crazy stuff and almost no one else in the party did, it was still valid to criticize as a top-down policy from the guy in charge of both the party and the country. I think it's equally fair to apply this standard now. Party leaders are setting the tone.
In a sense, conservatives are "overly" grateful for America and can get very defensive about its flaws. Liberals, on the other hand, are obsessed with yearning for an America they can be grateful for and it's always at the end of the rainbow of fundamental social change.
YES THIS DOESN'T APPLY TO EVERYONE but we understand that this is generally true to some degree among most people who would consider themselves firmly in one camp or the other.
