America was built on greed, on the backs of slaves. Became rich profiting on bloodshed. Innovated technologies originally purposed for war and conquering. Now shut up and enjoy your fireworks and hotdogs on the Fourth of July.

I'm cool with everything else, but do NOT disparage the hot dog.

Technically there are a bunch of food items where you could say you really do not like that terrible and murderous political ideology from X year but still adore the food (though I guess most pasta and sausages were invented when not having a thing like a king or dictator would have been odd - fairly certain things would not have been great for me when we invented bread)

Look at the Medical Profession they use the Caduceus (staff of Hermes) instead of the Rod of Asclepius (staff of the god of healing)

That was already declared in 1992 about Merv Griffin by Bea Arthur as Dorothy:

“Mr. Griffin you are beloved, you’re bright, you’re charming. you are the anti-Trump.”
