I'm thinking things like flagpoles in the yard.

Like you waste however much money and resources to keep your non-native grass around and they drop in a 60 foot pole into it to be able to fly an American flag and flag for whatever shitty college you went to.

What other things are there?

    The stealth bombers is a really good one, same with like playing the anthem or whatever before sporting events.

      I loved that they sang the anthem and America The Beautiful before the Superbowl. That's not weird at all

          I was watching with some lib friends, some of whom I am trying to radicalize slowly, and I turned to them and was like "ok, I know we're used to that, but can we take a step back and acknowledge how bizarre that actually is?" And all I could get from them was "I mean, I guess so, but it's not really THAT weird, this is a big important game".

          American Civil Religion is so tough to get people to be critical of

              The first time I saw this was when I truly realized satire is dead (if it was ever really alive).

              It's indistinguishable from something I would laugh at on The Onion.
