My deep disdain for this land and her leaders comes not from a hatred of it’s meaning but from the truest form of patriotism. As a child raised on the lofty ideals of our founders, I stand as America’s greatest failure.

The exact opposite. You’re a rare success story. This nation is nothing without its ideals, and as long as it fails to live up to those ideals, we must agitate for it to change, regardless of who it upsets.
