Intersectionality - a framework used to incorporate overlapping identities -- race, gender, class, religion, sexuality, etc -- in order to combine diverse "oppressed" categories into one class for a directed radical purpose.

Intersectionality is how Chinese funds and Obama/Soros leadership can persuade a wide swath of Americans to reject American patriotism associated with our 250th celebration.

America’s negative-sum birthday
by Ben Smith
May 30, 2026


I recently ran into the Democratic strategist Doug Thornell, who was worried about America’s 250th anniversary this July 4.

“Trump wants to make it a partisan two-to-three months where he can beat Democrats over the head for not being patriotic,” he mused. “Democrats need to be ready for that and go on offense, with a thoughtful vision for America, not be afraid to talk about their patriotism, their love for this country.”

No! A cherished American moment turning into a bitter partisan food fight? Couldn’t happen.

I texted Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway, who is deeply involved in the anniversary preparations, to ask whether America’s birthday might become hyperpartisan.

“Meaning, many Democrats will not celebrate?” she asked. I tried to elaborate, and she politely explained that she’d been asking a rhetorical question.
...

The first flickers of how badly this all might go came last week, when musicians you hadn’t heard of for years began pulling out of a Freedom 250 concert series on the National Mall during the State Fair. “I had no clue it was considered a ‘Trump-backed’ event,” YoungMC (whose “Bust a Move” topped charts in 1989) complained to Rolling Stone. “It was a bait-and-switch.” Trump promptly volunteered to replace the artists at the event, which has the dual benefit of turning the Freedom 250 event into a pure Trump rally and letting him blame his enemies for doing so.

Is this good or bad for Trump’s politics? Who knows. This White House does love to troll, and MAGA needs a jolt. The choice of a UFC event is emblematic: It’s almost impossible to find a divisive American sport, but the polling firm YouGov finds that UFC Fight Night is popular with 26% of Americans and disliked by 25%.

And so Thornell was, I think, right to believe that Trump and his aides are happy to seize the opportunity to paint Democrats as unpatriotic. He’s also right that Republicans may well overplay their hand with the lavish celebrations and “look out of touch with how people are feeling right now.”

Unbelievable that Dems are so eaten up that they not only are doing everything they can to get Iran to "Hang in there, baby!" but they are also prepared to denounce America's 250th celebration. Good Lord!

No one can divide the country quite like Trump. I'll give him that much.

Because whatever his faults, he loves this country.

The left side hasn't loved the USA in decades... and whatever fondness they may ever have had is quite overshadowed by their hatred of a single man.

Seems like a bear minimum threshold to cross but even that is at least debatable.

It's a BARE minimum nary a democrat can seem to muster.

That's a tough ask when (especially the Millennial and GenZ liberals) actually have no love for America or anything it ever was, and they have for years openly professed to hating the country.

They can't walk that crap back in a month. They're stuck looking like the petulant, ignorant children that they are.

He only "divides" in terms of driving the leftist assholes in the country to show their true colors.

What people? Who speaks for these people? Who are these people?


I just don’t understand who is out of touch, and why they hate America.
