When I saw this tweet from a member of congress ON the 4th of July, it sealed it for me...these people HATE America. They hate what this country is and want to fundamentally overhaul it.


So when we're talking about a holiday celebrating a bunch of white guys, many of whom were slave owners, signing a "freedom" document that didn't guarantee the equal rights it espoused. They'll tell you that America is deeply rooted in racism and never lived up to the ideals of the declaration of Independence, so why is it a day worth celebrating? This is particularly reinforced by a recent poll that shows patriotism and the American flag are seen as Republican values.

They might not fully cancel it but they’ll certainly try to remove its luster and probably focus more on Juneteenth. And it will probably have its own flag too

When she says this land was stolen, what land isn’t?
When she says blacks are still not free?
How so?

Pretty sure we just proved that this will not be successful.

Oh, the push is coming.



The question is do we let them?

They'll rename it. Like they do with everything.

There are no new ideas, just new ways to describe them.

What I'm thinking.


This is a holiday that celebrates everything these people despise. America's founding, our founding fathers. The Declaration of Independence, the flag, our history, American exceptionalism.


For them, a day to celebrate all these things rooted in white supremacy has no place in mainstream society.

This will look great in republican campaign ads next year for republicans to use to hopefully pick up some seats in Missouri.

She is correct. Just look at this opressed Black People. He can't even play a game without displaying his loyalty to the White Man by spreading his white pow(d)er in the air.

FREE LEBRON!!!

Yeah, my response when Leftists say we live on stolen land: All land is stolen land.

Convince me why they would. This would absolutely be a dealbreaker with any political party.

Seems like faux outrage.

shite, it’s just as likely that Republicans will cancel the 4th of July because they no longer believe in democracy and our electoral system.

what

Our founding wasn’t a frickin democracy. Most republicans probably would prefer to go back to the way the electoral system was at our founding

If you don't realize that the left is attempting to tear down all of this country's values and traditions, then I can't help you.

Remember when Trump tried to cancel the NBA, the NFL, and the MLB?

I’m so glad we’re done with the most pro cancel culture President we’ve ever seen.

You can’t help anyone unless it’s touting conspiracies and lies about the election.

The real enemy of this country are the people who don’t value our democracy.

The “Democratic Party” is only a moniker at this point. Neo-Marxists would be more accurate imho.
