I likewise wear Captain America stuff, but also wear general “USA” stuff.
No, never did. I always thought that it’s foolish to be proud of the geographic location of where your mother gave birth to you. Nowadays, if I see a pickup with US flags mounted on poles, my gut reaction is that it’s a MAGAbot. Hyperpatriotism and military adoration leads us to accept pointless wars like Iraq, Afghanistan, and Iran.
Yep, it’s now a statement of where you fall on the political spectrum, and a lot less of a sign of your patriotic pride.
But… that’s for overtly “America” type stuff- flags, eagles, and so forth.
Stuff like National Park shirts or military shirts aren’t really that way, even today.
Maybe. If I see a military-adjacent shirt on somebody under ~35yo I think “veteran”. Much older I think “veteran turned MAGA traitor”.
“Still”? I never did. My avatar notwithstanding, I believe that wearing the flag cheapens it. My nametag at work has a flag in one corner which I cover with a sticker for that reason.
The only America-themed clothing I own is a necktie with little flags on it. I think it’s from the bicentennial. I typically wear it on the closest school day to patriotic holidays. Not on the 4th of July, though, because school is mostly the only time I wear a tie.
Well, sometimes a red-and-white plaid shirt with blue jeans or jeans shorts. But that’s not specifically American; it just happens to be the same colors.
In either case, though, I haven’t changed my habits. Trump is not America.
I don’t remember ever having owned America-themed clothing at all, but I definitely would not wear it now, because now it seems to mainly be worn by jingoistic xenophobic white nationalists.
I’ve never worn patriotic clothing that I could remember, though it’s possible my parents dressed me in such when I was young. I’m not a big fan of waving flags, but I definitely don’t like the idea of wearing them. I’m not against putting up a flag, but I don’t think I’ve ever done that either. Performative patriotism has always struck me as odd, and the line between patriotism and nationalism can be a thin one. It never made any sense to me to be proud of a geographical accident of my birth. Yeah, America is a fine place for me, but I’d be happy in a lot of places.
Over half of the people who voted are though. Not a county to be proud of anymore.
Only thing I’ve ever had, I think, is a shirt with the MTV logo on it with the “tv” in a flag pattern. I recently sold it. (Not for a ton of money it wasn’t a vintage shirt)
I’ve actually worn my Slovak flag tee more than I’ve ever worn anything with the American flag.
It’s just not my jam. Especially not now.
I wanted to wear something with patriotic colors for Independence Day, but I currently don’t have anything with a flag on it. So instead I wore a tee-shirt that has flag colors: Stephen Colbert’s Last Show. I got many positive colors about it.
He didn’t get a majority. He managed 49.8% from a 64.3% turnout. That’s 32% of the electorate. They do not represent this country.
I never did, either. I took the flag code seriously when I was younger. Now I wouldn’t, but I genuinely don’t like the aesthetic. Sure, use the flag for appropriate symbolism, but not on clothing.
The most I’d ever do is wear red, white, and blue.
I’ve never worn “patriotic” clothing, “cheap and comfortable” are my standards for clothing. But if I ever had:
Yeah, that was when I developed a profound distaste for anything “patriotic”. And a general disinterest in seeing America survive.
I don’t have any USA clothing. I do have a sweatshirt with a picture off a KKK hood and a MAGA hat - “Same idea, different hat”
I’ve got this sparkly globe like thing that spins and projects LED lights. It’s quite festive. It’s hanging behind a beam on my front porch. I’ll turn that on when ( 
) he is impeached. I also might fly a flag.
There’s definitely a sort of military shirt that telegraphs that, and there are others that don’t.
For example… if I see an old guy wearing a ship hat, I just assume he was part of her crew at some point. If I see a guy with a Navy veteran shirt that says somethign about courage, duty, committment, etc… I’m assuming jingoistic MAGA type.
I’ve never actually had any specific “America” type clothing; I always thought it was a bit tacky and performative to wear that sort of thing any time except maybe on the 4th of July.
Never have worn or owned any. Definitely would not now!
This. I don’t get being proud of where you were born. I don’t get patriotism. And how can one be patriotic of what the US has become? 
My wife shops at resale stores and sometimes buys me T-shirts, often funny ones, she thinks I’ll like. As a joke she picked me up a T-shirt with a big picture of a bald eagle with red, white and blue colored wings unfurled, with the script slogan “Livin’ the Dream!”. It’s so ridiculously over the top I love it; it fits my particular weird sense of humor.
However, as an older, white, bearded, somewhat overweight guy wearing this shirt, I’m sure I’m regularly mistaken for a trumper when I wear it in public. But in my mind, I’m secretly making fun of wingnuts and trumpers when I wear it. I did happen to wear it when my wife and I were hitting garage and yard sales one day, and we were having a conversation with two women who were having a sale. Somehow politics tangentially came up and I expressed a progressive opinion, to which one of the women said “judging by your shirt, I, uhhh, assumed you were more, ummm, conservative”. I said, “oh, I just wear this ironically”.
I stand by my point. Too many fucking assholes in this country who don’t value what I always thought America stood for. We were never perfect by a long shot, but I thought the arc of history was bending in the right direction. The great American experiment is over. I’m truly sorry.
A society needs a certain amount of patriotism to function well. Otherwise you end up with massive amounts of corruption, incompetence and unrest because nobody cares enough to do otherwise; why not steal from the government, sell it garbage or overthrow it for profit if you have no care for the nation?
I think that’s one reason why a lot of “Third World” nations that were basically created by exiting colonialists drawing lines on a map have had such problems; few who lived there actually felt loyalty towards their artificial, externally imposed “nation”. So they had no reason not to rob it blind or set themselves up as dictator, or followed a dictator themselves because they had more loyalty to a person than to somebody else’s lines on a map.
