Personally I feel more connected to the Vancouver BC/ Seattle/ Portland corridor than with the rest of the US, so I feel more comfortable saying I’m a Cascadian than an American.
I am a meat popsicle
I am disabled, and a retro computer nerd.
Because frankly? I haven’t been proud of America since 9/11 and nothing my family or the people around me have said or done have helped me to not feel shame.
The country of “Disabled Retro Computer Nerd Land” sounds rad as hell, (the DRCN for short)
I am a Californian. My flag is the flag of the California Republic.
Unfortunately, my state sees fit to subsidize a bunch of conservative states that otherwise would have failed already.
As someone in one of those States.
Cut us off. There won’t be change until these people hurt and right now they view California as something they are subsidizing and not the other way round.
I am European (but currently living in Asia). I don’t identify with my country of birth. However, I do feel connected to the Franco-Alemannic culture space that I grew up in. The languages, literature, arts and crafts, architecture, food, music etc. are way more important to me than the colour of my passport or the madhouse that is politics.
I’m a special snowflake and I don’t really identify with people in any particular area. Though I guess I do know my tribe when I meet them. But we don’t really have a name. Intellectual hippies maybe.
If I had to pick one then probably my neighborhood is how I would identify.
My primary identity is Dravidian, and more specifically, Tamilian. Rather than Indian.

That movie is Terminal, with Tom Hanks.
I hope you don’t because stateless. I hear it’s usually much less pleasant than just airport shenanigans.
… Come to think of it, turning (parts of) airports into housing for people who have lost citizenship would be hella punk. Can we do that?
I don’t identify with either my country of birth (where I lived until I was 19) or the country I currently reside in. Of course I have a strong influence from both, especially where I grew up, and I find it’s easier for me to understand the culture there but that doesn’t mean I resonate or identify with it.
I’ve lived Connecticut, New Jesey, Texas, Ohio, Virginia, and Tennessee. There is nothing I can call myself other than American.
Obama once said “No party or political philosophy has a monopoly on patriotism.” I’ll be one of the patriots fighting to bring us back from the brink. American AF 🤘

Because, while assholes can be found in all places, you have decided yo surround yourself with the interestingly weird.

Hey from another cishet in queer spaces. We just realize where the fun is. 😉
I’m from Arkansas, US. I identify more with my small town than with my state or nation. I also identify as a southerner, but somewhat reluctantly.
In times like these, I repeat the mantra: “At least you’re not in Mississippi.”
I’m definitely American, but, I do not feel connected to the redneck MAGA region I live in.

I don’t feel like I’m in danger, just that 80% of the people around me are idiots.
I don’t particularly identify with any nation or region. I suppose I am a citizen of earth?
a citizen of earth?
I like to think of this as being just Human. Being Human transcend a lot of ideals and beliefs.
Both? So the best way to put it is I identify with my hometown and my state, identify less with my nation without totally “not” identifying with it, and identify most strongly with the land I came from before then.
I’ve lived in 5 different regions of the country. I definitely feel like I’m an ‘American’
