This was probably made around late 2001-early 2004. Afghanistan and early Iraq (up until Saddam's capture) was the patriotism wave. Late 2004 was when it died with the Iraq insurgency and Abu Ghraib scandal.

>1 show that was cancelled after 13 episodes
>1 show that was cancelled due to a tax write off
>1 pilot that never became a show
It is both funny and sad at the same time
Why does Buttercup hate America so much?

Why do people keep trying to push this narrative? Nationalism has been a thing since after the Civil War. Nobody went "9/11! I love America now!". After 9/11 we were scared it could happen again and most knew nothing about Islam till it happened. The kind of merch in the OP came out ever year for Independence Day.
>he doesn't know about the cynicism wave of the early 90s and the social engineering of patriotism in response to it
Do you think Willy just played the sax and banged some prostitute back then, and that was all?
>Nobody went "9/11! I love America now!"
A lot of people did and put flags on their car or in front of their house. Heck Toby Keith made a song about it. Late 2004 it all fell apart.
It fell apart in 05 with Katrina.
I'd say late 2004 people started getting annoyed over the lack of WMDs, but Bush had enough support to get barely re-elected. Katrina in 2005 destroyed the last of it.
Anon, nobody actually paid attention to scandals like that back in the age of network television. The news is more read now than it ever was then. It took an actual disaster to break the illusion. Your average blue collar worker wouldn't care what an "Abu Ghraib" is. You'd hear more about that on a college campus.
I agree Katrina was the last straw but that Abu Ghraib, even if average joes didn't care as much as they would now, started to whittle away support a little.
It's not so much that average Joe cares now as it is that he's becoming extinct, and the world he lived in is getting bulldozed away to build the habitat of the modern man. There's less homeowning electricians, plumbers and miners these days, and less "excess" emphasised in fast food marketing. Homer Simpson is indeed a relic of his age like everyone keeps saying on twitter. A man that just wanted to eat the ribwich before it was gone, hit the "R" button on the voting machine because he remembered the 80s as being "better", and then dream of expensive things to burn away his meager life savings on. The majority of americans you see today differ quite a bit from that stereotype now.

Huh.....are you dumb? Unless you have been astroturfed by terminally online moronic shills on social media into thinking there are only greedy multi-trillionaires and shoeless hobos left in this country, you're dead wrong.
There is a middle class, that is struggling, sure, but is still alive and kicking.
Suburbia is even more important than ever : a great majority of farming fields have been replaced by cheap housing estates since the 1960s.
>there is a middle class
Tell me about the household debt, genius.

You know we're talking about a cartoon character from the 90s, right? The one that's so ingrained in the past that no one finds him relatable anymore right? Stupid fricking gpt bot.

Things were different after 9/11 and I'm tired of explaining this over and over again to everyone in your generation of flat-scans.
remember the post that suggested people who were born after 9/11 stopped receiving souls
i know it was just sarcastic hyperbole but it sure feels like it doesn't it
