Likely Normal

Being an American means embracing the beautiful chaos of 331 million people who can’t agree on anything, yet somehow still call themselves united. We’re like a big, rowdy family where the siblings constantly bicker but would absolutely throw down if an outsider tried to start something.

Yes, we fight about politics, pizza toppings, and whether ketchup belongs on hot dogs (looking at you, Chicago). Texans will tell you everything’s bigger there, Californians will try to convince you they’re the future, New Yorkers will shout over everyone, and Floridians will… well, just relax in style. But when the chips are down—whether it’s a hurricane, a World Cup match, or a moon landing—we’re suddenly one big, loud, slightly dysfunctional team chanting “USA! USA!”

We may debate endlessly about the best way to run the country, but deep down, we all share the same American instincts: complaining about taxes while loving tax refund season, pretending to understand the imperial system, and believing that, yes, our hometown diner does have the best pancakes in the nation.

At the end of the day, our secret strength isn’t that we always agree—it’s that we’re free to disagree, loudly and passionately, and still come together when it matters. We’re a country built on big dreams, stubborn optimism, and the unshakable belief that, no matter how messy it gets, the American experiment is still the greatest show on Earth.

So here’s to the red, white, and blue—and all the shouting, laughing, and debating in between. Because whether you’re left, right, or just trying to find a parking spot at Walmart, we’re all part of the same ridiculous, wonderful family. And honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way. 🇺🇸🎆
