Comedian Chris Dizefano told Fox News Digital that he hasn't seen America's pride on such a massive scale since the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The comedian said that while the country is clearly divided into political boundaries, people feel “weary” by constant political struggles and ready to start unity again as Americans.
“To be honest, I personally think our country knows it's very divided, but that could be due to fatigue. If you think the other way around – I think we're going to make a coordinated effort to try and get together a little more.

Distefano pointed out that President Donald Trump's resistance to his second term does not seem to have the same enthusiasm as his first term.
“I mean, you're looking at this Trump presidency, the very early stages of it and the last Trump presidency. So, as long as people can try and get what they can try to take him away, people were screaming on the streets,” Distefano pointed out.
He went on to explain that resistance to Trump appears to have lost the steam he once had.
“The first three months of his presidency were like, yeah, there were problems and people were trying, but like people are, well, let’s just do that.

Distefano continued by noting that American pride has returned in ways he hasn't seen in over 20 years.
“There's more American pride in our country than I remember. I don't feel that… Honestly, like 9/11, this American pride. Like after that. There was a lot of American pride.
He made it clear that having American pride doesn't mean that American citizens feel better than citizens of other countries, but that they are proud of who they are. He added that citizens of other countries should feel the same way.
“We understand that America is just a line on the map like every other country, but there's something about being proud of as a good country for everyone. That's better for us. I'm not saying America is the only one. s ***That, be proud to be Mexico, no, Mexican, and be proud to work with us.

As a comedian, Distefano feels that it's not his job to tell people to those who should not vote and that he shouldn't, and that it's not his job to see it and tell people to tease either when it's justified.
“For me, for comedians, we call it that, and I think perception is real. I'm in the middle, I'm Chrissy Grey-Zone, I'm America's first. I've always been, and always is,” Distefano said. “You know, as a comedian, I feel like I'm number one. That's not the reason I'm here, that's not the reason I'm here. That's not the reason I'm here.
He continued by noting that one side of the political aisle stirs anti-American sentiment across the country while lying on both sides during the fitting.
“What I say is definitely recognized over the past two years. Democrats are anti-American, and Republicans are not smart enough to know why they're pro-American. “What I saw is that Democrats were saying, “Americans have all these issues and you should be anti-American. Republicans say, 'Yeah, we have those issues, but you should be pro-American.”
The comedian also mentioned Trump's comments on Greenland and Canada's acquisition of Greenland and Canada that he believes could become the 51st state.
“Do you think even Trump's efforts know anyone who knows whether executive orders will pass or whether they will buy Greenland or Canada? Does that know what he's saying?

He concluded the topic by pointing to the American flag as a symbol of the changing emotions of our country.
“After 9/11, if you didn't have an American flag outside your home, people would say, 'What are you, are you, what are you? they? “And then, if you had an American flag outside your home, 20 years later, people would say, “What are you, a terrorist? What are you? they? '”Distefano said, and now I feel like it's not necessarily that it's even flipping over, I feel like it's neutralizing where people say, “Hey, I'm proud to be in America.” ”
