Episode Details

As the Fourth of July looms, many are questioning whether they can still love America — especially with war, inequality, and divisive politics dominating headlines. Actor Robert De Niro compares patriotism to staying in an abusive relationship, reflecting a growing sentiment that national symbols like the flag are now weaponized by movements like MAGA, forcing others to choose sides. Yet the article argues that love for America isn’t dead — its core values of freedom and inclusion still thrive, and a majority of citizens still dream of a diverse, united future. Drawing on America’s history of self-correction — from civil rights to voting rights to government reform — the piece offers a hopeful perspective: while the country is flawed, its resilience and capacity for change make it worth fighting for, not abandoning.
