Massive Celebrations on America's 250th.
Some people and some states didn't take part because they hate Trump so much. Which doesn't make sense to me. By all means hate on Trump. But hate on your country? Because you hate one man? Weird.
What I saw recently somewhere on the socials. The distinction between Patriotism and Nationalism. Not exact, not perfect. But handy:
Patriotism: loving and supporting your country, its people and customs.
Nationalism: loving and supporting a particular regime of your country.
Seems to me those who are not celebrating America's 250th because of Trump, are confusing these two.
For China: I can love the country, the language, its food and people. Its culture. While not loving at all the Chinese Communist Party. I make the distinction. Love the country; hate the government.
That's a report above from NBC. Which used to be Trump Deranged. But is, perhaps, no longer. Or at least makes the distinction between Trump and the United States. Lots of sailing! Yay! Three cheers to the Red, White and Blue...
Happy Birthday, America!
Happy semiquincentennial, America!
