Happy U.S. Independence day, y'all! This is the day America finally got their freedom! Well, accept women. And native Americans. And Black people. And people with disabilities. And queer people. And poor people. And a bunch of other minorites.. But those land-owning white men, amiright!? Hell yeah. What would America do without them?? Don't answer that… Sorry, we're not trying to get political here, we're just trying to enjoy some memes. We're just your good 'ole fashion jaded American millennials who keep trying but seeing no results when it comes to our country. So what's one way us millennials love to cope? Memes, duh! So we're celebrating the 4th of July the best way we know how, with memes! If you're one of those talks-about-America-like-they're-in-a-cult, then these memes will probably p!ss you off. But if you are a true blue American who embraces their right to protest, freedom of speech, and being self-deprecating even with their own country, then ohhh baby let the fireworks fly—these memes are for you!
