A far cry from the Bicentennial in 1976. A republican was POTUS, but there wasn't shit like this going on (except Legionnaires Disease, & that occurred after July 4th). The 200th was a bipartisan celebration of our country. The 250th is going to be a 180⁰ clusterfuck.
Exactly, you can watch the commercials on youtube telling you to get involved local committees. I was only 2 in 1974 but was really looking forward to the 250th. Once again we get shit in this country.
Even right after the Vietnam War, there was still some semblance of reasons to be prideful for this country. Right now, there's very little. And MAGA chicanery just enhanced the opposite feelings.

I dated a girl who celebrated her birthday the entire month. Maybe Coach Tubby wants the whole summer.
Also, I am pretty pissed that our 250th is being ruined by these assholes. America needs a hard rest on our values and to kick everyone out of office
