The biggest howler here is identifying as a "heritage American", which inevitably means "I'm descended from ppl who were here at the Founding and that's the only thing about my life I can pretend to be proud of, so I hold it over everyone else and demand to be able to rule them."
Why am I imagining a crpud of pompous assholes in suits with faces shaped like 30 varieties of heirloom tomatoes? Coz that's what this sounds like anytime someone declares their dog pedigree as the most important thing about them
