The cultural divide in America was on full display with a top-trending hashtag #NothingMoreAmericanThan.
Obviously created with the intent to make fun of the country with sarcastic tweets about “Murica” and social criticism, it also became a lightning rod for patriotic counter-points that threw into relief the highly critical nature of the hashtag.
Here are some of the tweets of a critical nature:

True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what’s right.
True patriotism hates injustice in its own land more than anywhere else.
Democracy is the government of the people, by the people, for the people.
People have forgotten what 4th of July really is about. Today commemorates the freedom we use everyday. It’s not fireworks and parties. That’s just what makes it fun.
Let’s enjoy one of the last Independence Days before our complete dependence on China.
Let us remember as we fall asleep this Independence Day those who fight and the many that have died to protect our freedom.
Did you hear the one about the Liberty Bell? Yeah, it cracked me up too!
The 4th of July was not declared a national holiday until 1941.
John Hancock was the only person to actually sign the Declaration of Independence on July 4th, 1776. The other signers did not sign it until August 2nd, 1776 or even later.

That's the deal-killer.
“My fireworks and explosions will be Sunday the 5th....that’s “prep day” for Monday’s colonoscopy.
Woe is me..”
In the end, it will all work out.
Repeatedly....two years ago, I actually kept a 'download log' and the numbers were amazing...
“In the end, it will all work out.”
Literally.
They all seem rather smug about whatever it is that they’re eating, lol.
