When I was scrolling through Twitter this morning, I didn't expect to be hit right in the nostalgic feels by the "We used to be a country. A proper country" trend, but alas, here we are.
The trend actually originated from an anti-vax perspective, with the original tweeter attempting to demonstrate how good life was without masks.
But because the genius minds of Twitter are on team "safety first in the midst of a global pandemic," they've instead morphed the trend into a nostalgic rabbit hole, sharing their favorite memories from America's past.
So, without further ado, here are the best "proper country" tweets:
