Our Founding Fathers bequeathed, specifically, that name to us. We have had the identity “American” since our founding as a nation.
All throughout history, when the term “American” is used, there is no question as to whom it refers.
If American men don’t have the gonads to stand up for their identity, and passively allow another group to assume their identity, with their blessing, then the nation is over.
I agree.
I’ve travelled the world also including the Americas and I don’t give a damn about others claiming they are ‘Americans’, but I do give a damn about diluting our identity.
That doesn’t mean we as Americans should just say we’re United Stateians. Heck, Mexico calls itself the United States of Mexico and they reminded me that they too are ‘Americans’. No, they are Mexicans. Peruvians are Peruvians; Bolivians are Bolivians, etc., end of story.
We are Americans, we will remain Americans. If others claim they are Americans, fine. They can go to the end of the line before they try and enter through the Trump Gate.
