That reminds me the 1976 Freedom Train
Is anyone here old enough to remember?
A rolling 25 plus car musem of American history from 1776 to 1976.
Visited all contiguous 48 states in 1975 and 1976
Full of priceless artifacts and memorabillia. Armed guards were everywhere
Cool as shite

I made $20 selling lemonade outside my grandparents home in small town Missouri in 1976 during the Shriners parade. Turns out most of it came out of my granddaddy’s wallet and into my cigar box when I wasn’t looking, but a buck is a buck. ??

Ah but yes, anyone who opposes your “dear leader” obviously only does so because they have “tds”…or are “lib-tards” that hate America, right?
Remember how Hunter Biden was so terrible when he was on the board of some Ukrainian company and made millions while his dad was VP? Your boy Trump made $2 billion last year grifting while he was president. Trump hasn’t drained the swamp, he’s turned it into a cesspool.
So you hate America because Trump made money off crypto and not career politicians rigging the stock market?

Life was a lot simpler 50 years ago. A half dozen tv channels (on the high end), pretty much everything could be done locally in your hometown, people weren’t living such a fast paced lifestyle that was influenced by so many outside sources. It only made sense to go all out for the Bicentennial and enjoy an event that brought your community together, gave everyone something to celebrate, and a reason to have a good time. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t envious.

Like the 250th anniversary seems to be barely a bigger deal than the 249th or 248th anniversary.
Where I live it’s a pretty big deal.

My husband mentioned the "Bicentennial" at work, and the yourger kids had no idea what that meant. Good luck with semiquincentennial

No, I love America and I see the man who encouraged his followers to desecrate our nation by storming our capitol, and despise him for it. I have no love for any politician who abuses their office to enrich themselves, be it Nancy Pelosi insider training or Trump selling access.
I think it’s as embarrassing that Jasmine Crockett is in a position of power as it is that Tommy Tuberville is.
But it’s sad that so many people can’t think critically and simply slobber when the D or R bell is rung.
I remember what a big deal the bicentennial was. It came right after Watergate and Vietnam - and yet Americans came together for it. The cult is what is different now.

Im sorry he kicked 4M of your fellow Democrats off the welfare rolls.

Yeah, I quit reading his post after that. I mean, I’m in the club that has lost a lot of the fervor once held for Trump, but to still believe that narrative and point to it as THE reason for hating him? BAAAAAAA!!!!

I think this is it. No middle ground, and nearly half the country’s citizens have been convinced they should be ashamed to be an American.

All this bitching from both sides is the reason we are where we are at.
Take a break from the thread and watch the show and fireworks at Mt Rushmore.

I dunno. But I know 50 years ago my mom sewed me an outfit and made me dress up like a patriot and march in our small town's parade.
