Nationalism is an infectious agent that replicates and mutates in form. The viruses show the detrimental impact of too much pride or perceived supremacy of one over another. Each virus addresses various symptoms, characteristics and qualities of the contagion. The colors red, white and blue are exclusive to this strain and its infestation throughout the United States. The forms themselves take form similar to a firework and each have their own nefarious candy coated coating.
