Do people in France have flags on their cars? Do they sell clothing with the flag for Zimbabwe everywhere? Do people dress as their country’s mascot for every day events?

    Hard no. I’ve been to 25ish countries (I’ve lost count), and US is the only country I’ve been to with so many flags and rituals around patriotism.

    • National anthem before every sportsball game.
    • Pledge of allegiance.
    • Flags every where every day.
    • “Thank you for your service”.
    • Picture of President in any building that serves a government function (at least the ones I’ve been to… Not that many, tbh).
    • Naming anything and everything after presidents and statesmen
