> [@Eonwe](#): > > Heck, I might even say that it was, in that sense, one of the most wholesome, ‘conservative’ shows. Agree with your whole post, especially this part. Family and community were front and center instead of a typical over-the-top self-promotion, consumerism, or bacchanal. ---

So Canadians don’t like it when they are called Americans and Latin American countries don’t like it when people from the USA don’t call them Americans. I’ll try to be careful but I’ll keep referring to myself as “from California”. ---

It’ll be real nice when we get to the point that “I’m from Earth” is good enough for everyone. ---

On The Daily Show yesterday, Jon Stewart showed clips from the Turning Point USA half-time show of Lee Brice performing his new song _Country Nowadays_ with lyrics like “I just want to catch my fish, drive my truck, drink my beer” or “I just want to cut my grass, feed my dogs, wear my boots.” ([YouTube Link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfpQbv7CmeE) to The Daily Show yesterday and another [YouTube link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAhCou9sP34) to Lee Brice’s performance.) ---
