Honestly it's hard to even get in the mood. Everything related to the 4th this year feels like satire.
If you're like me, it's a great opportunity to ruin the family picnic with politics and pressuring maga relatives. Likely won't change any minds, but maybe I'll luck out and not get invited next year.

9/11 ruined it for me, specifically the “proud to be an American”, flag on cars garbage—while we passed the Patriot act and started more wars.
Call it what it is: nationalism. I've been weirded out by it since I stopped saying the pledge of allegiance in elementary school.
Fun fact: the pledge was created as part of a campaign to sell more flags to schools.
Celebrating a day breaking away from a king in a year, we return to a king, very infuriating.
