I always figured it was meant to describe the kind of person who could sit and happily eat an entire plate of shit, and yet still think they’ve got things more figured out than anyone else.

At least don’t be the asshole that pops them off on any day that isn’t the holiday in question.

Like, at least on the day of, there’s sort of a tacit understanding for people with PTSD and nervous pets that THIS is the day to be prepared for and get through, so at least people know to be ready for it.

Always blows my mind how much we hear red-blooded patriots go on about “the troops,” just to go and celebrate their patriotism by stressing the shit out of all the veterans in their neighborhood.
