America wasn’t born polite. It was born in open defiance of tyranny, of crowns, of anyone who thought free men should kneel. Our Founding Father wrapped in the stars and stripes stands as a reminder that this country was built by people who told an empire to get bent and meant it.

Resist isn’t a slogan. It’s the operating system baked into the bones of this country—from farmers and tradesmen who crossed frozen rivers to stack souls for their cause, to generations since who refused to kneel quietly when it mattered.
