Photos Behind the Scenes of the Real United States
American movies have portrayed the United States as a force to be reckoned with, the peak of civilization, and the most powerful nation of them all. But we know the truth is nowhere close to that ideal because we see reality everywhere we go. There are no action heroes in our everyday lives, nor a sense of community that holds us together to get through tough times. But there are a lot of people who like to play dress-up to go to Walmart, and we actually love it.
People lacking a sense of fashion, a sense of awareness, or simply common sense can be seen all around us if we pay enough attention, and whether you like it or not, they're the ones making the United States what it is today.
So, here are some photos from behind the scenes of the real United States, the one we know, love, and sometimes hate.

Is not like the baby needs it right now.
Bathroom Break
And back to shopping.
Marge on the subway
It wasn't even Halloween.

Some things can't fit in the bags.
Double Jeans
How many pairs of jeans are too many jeans?

They didn't have those when she was a kid.

Hope they get what they wanted.

Let's just hope that's her hair.

Now to find the giant bowl.

Can't get out of the house without them.

Looks like it works great.

He didn't buy it.

Doesn't look too safe.
A Statement
Don't you love people who wear their ideals?
Traveling Bike
No one on that subway is too fond of you, I'm afraid.
Just Out of Bed
Mornings are hard for everyone.
Wonder Ballerina
Late for rehearsal or saving the world?

Great for germ protection, awful for anything else.

To be fair, there was no warning sign about doing this.
