British Embassy Trolls U.S. on July 4th: 'You'll Be Back'

The British Embassy in Washington D.C. went viral on Twitter for trolling the United States on Independence Day.

"We made a Fourth of July playlist..." the official embassy Twitter account tweeted along with a photo of a Spotify playlist featuring only the song "Baby Come Back" and a photo of Hamilton star Jonathan Groff in costume as King George III.

The uncharacteristically funny post from an embassy Twitter account quickly went viral and has more than 100,000 likes on the platform at the time of writing.

For anyone who needs a quick history lesson, the 13 British colonies on America's east coast won their independence from British rule during the American Revolution which was fought between 1775 and 1783.

The viral joke comes amid serious political and social upheaval in the United States following the reversal of abortion rights with the repeal of Roe v. Wade, the Ulvade school shooting and a shooting during a July Fourth parade in Illinois on Monday.

Meanwhile, a survey conducted in advance of this year's Independence Day holiday has found the amount of people who said they are "extremely proud" to be American is at a record low.

In the Gallup poll released last week, just 38 percent of U.S. adults said they are "extremely proud" to be Americans, which is the lowest number since Gallup began tracking national pride in 2001.

A gunman opened fire on a Fourth of July parade in Highland Park, Illinois, on Monday killing six people and injuring more than 30 others, including children.

Five victims were pronounced dead at the scene, and one victim succumbed to their injuries in a local hospital. And dozens of others, ranging in age from 8-85, were hospitalized with gunshot wounds.

Police have arrested Robert Crimo III, 22, who had been named as a person of interest by investigators.

Such events prompted many Americans to respond to the British Embassy's joke to say they actually agree with the joking sentiment from the embassy.

"I don't think they would be happy dealing with the mess we have become," reads one response.

While another added: "I prayed for four years beginning on Jan. 20, 2017 that there was a secret codicil in the Treaty of Paris 1783 that gave the monarch authority to take us back in case we went off the rails."

However, many just joked along and set out some conditions the U.K. would have to employ in order to get America back.

"We'd have to sign some sort of agreement to outlaw mushy peas," joked one.

While another added: "Not until we can have ice cubes in our drinks bruh."
