Twitter disagrees with Jeb Bush over the definition of 'America'

Republican U.S. presidentialcandidate Jeb Bushshared what appeared to be hisdefinition of "America" on Twitter on Tuesday afternoon:An image ofa gun with the name "Gov. Jeb Bush"engravedon it no exclamation point.

Some onlinetook the image as distasteful, and disagreed with Bush assigning all ofAmericathe transitive property of agun.

Instead, they pushed forward a variety of alternative possibilities.

Perhaps this food is America?

Or maybe these fine gentlemen are?

Some suggested a variety ofsocial issues would be more representative of America as a nation. The Flint, Mich.,water crisis, for example, or the #blacklivesmatter movement.

They also noted that it may be irresponsible for a presidential candidate to tie together the nation with gun violence, given some of said previously mentionedsocial issues.

As people shared photos of what they thought best representedAmerica, a response grew among the people of our home and native land:

"What is Canada?"

Is it universal health care?

What about this man? Is he Canada?

The answer may liein the snow.

Regardless of the country in question, some on Twitter grewtired of the semantic argument, and rather quickly.

Others tofocuson the man responsible for the meme. They questioned if perhaps Bush was confused about his country of residence.

And if the tweet would alienate America from its allies.

Bush himself has yet to respond to the controversy (or 18,000 retweets) his gun photoinspired, though he has since tweeted three times about his campaign.

The most recent Twitter update, which links to Bush'swebsite, reads simply "As Commander-in-Chief, I'll be determined to deal with threats before they become catastrophes."
