This. It's a typical example of how conservatives are utterly clueless about American symbols. Like how they adopted Springsteen's "Born in the USA" thinking it's a patriotic jingle, when the song is completely critical of the USA. Just read the lyrics of the song for God's sake.

But the only thing Goober Nation hears is "Born in the USA."

They used the song for an American win at the 2012 London Olympics, as well as "Werewolves of London" for a British win, a song with the line "little old lady got mutilated last night".

Springsteen was a genius, knew exactly what he was making. I remember the first time I listened to the lyrics and my heart broke a little. The lyrics are all too familiar and sting, with the sharp positive turn to the chorus. It's a perfect metaphor for society.

Whenever I hear it I get angry with America, and I get angry with conservative boomers who use the verses as drinking breaks so they can belt out the chorus proudly thinking they are real patriots.
