Earlier this week, The New York Times published a garbage video trashing the United States as a mediocre country that shouldn't be celebrated. In predictable fashion, it was posted just in time for Independence Day.
The myth of America as the greatest nation on earth is at best outdated and at worst, wildly inaccurate. If you look at data, the U.S. is really just O.K. pic.twitter.com/pFrWBH0Zfl

The backlash was swift.
Because of course they do this the week of Independence Day. What a disgrace. https://t.co/GtmB7s37pk

Take it from this immigrant: Don’t listen to @nytopinion. America is the greatest country on earth and we all should thank God for its existence. ???? https://t.co/Ved3lWQVZT

So “mythical” is American greatness that people are literally dying to get in and those who complain the loudest never leave.

We’ve built a free and prosperous nation where anyone has the opportunity to thrive and live out their dreams.

We’ve also shared that gift with the world, helping others to achieve the same.
A lot of great men died for this “just OK” country so that you could freely publish this garbage take.
