The Fourth of July is the quintessential Anti-Trump Holiday
It is "We the People", not "Me the President". It's about Power to the People, not Pomp and Pageantry. It celebrates a Revolution against the concentration of power in the hands of a ruling family.
We celebrate Independence Day because it repudiates the type of oligarchy that Donald Trump seeks to reign over. I condemn everything about Trump's "Salute to America" infomercial for himself, and for that reason I still emphatically celebrate the Fourth of July.
