choose to not ruin the holiday for other people by injecting politics.
Take a day off and enjoy yourself.

People shouldn't have complained about Hitler, either, just so people could celebrate The Fatherland.

and I don't let it rule my life. I also refuse to fall for the hyperbole and misinformation that plagues nearly every headline these days.
Donald Trump is an idiot and certainly an asshole, but he's not Hitler. I find the comparisons ridiculous.

Maybe if they wanted to throw you into a car and send you to Sudan, might be different.

Wore No King shirts. One lady wore a shirt that said, We all have someone we love who had an abortion.

It was at a progressive college town so many people marching in parade were protesting.

Indivisible had a huge block of protesters and float with no kings on it and large banner walked by many.

For some, it may signal Clinton's defeat to Trump in 2016. I take it you don't have a Harris tee?

Honestly, unless you're in a solid blue area, I wouldn't wear anything provoking.
