(341 posts)The parade of sailing ships, inspiring concerts(1812 overture with live cannons), speeches, commemorative stamps and coins.
Fifty years later we're getting a bad Idiocracy knockoff.
Sad how far we've fallen.

Watched more on TV, then down to the southern tip of Manhattan to watch fireworks.
Was a fabulous day, and night!

(19,183 posts)Yes, in "Idiocracy," people were... well, idiots. But Trumpocracy adds the element of malignant evil. It may still be a joke, but no one's laughing at it.

Give the people what they want
Well, it's been said before, the world is a stage
A different performance with every age.
Open the history book to any old page
Bring on the lions and open the cage.
Give the people what they want
You gotta give the people what they want
The more they get, the more they need
And every time they get harder and harder to please
The Roman promoters really did things right.
They needed a show that would clearly excite.
The attendance was sparse so they put on a fight
Threw the Christians to the lions, it sold out every night
Give the people what they want
You gotta give the people what they want
The more they get, the more they need
And every time they get harder and harder to please
Give 'em lots of sex, perversion and rape
Give 'em lots of violence, and plenty to hate
Give the people what they want
Give the people what they want
The French Revolution was a crazy scene
All those aristocrats getting guillotined
The promoters cleaned up, the expenses were low
An execution costs nothing, it's a wonderful show
Give the people what they want
Give the people what they want
Blow out your brains, and do it right
Make sure it's prime time and on a Saturday night.
The world wants a fight, peace is a bore
Every now and then you gotta give 'em a war
Give the people what they want
Give the people what they want
When Oswald shot Kennedy, he was insane
But still we watch the re-runs again and again
We all sit glued while the killer takes aim
"Hey Mom, there goes a piece of the president's brain!"
Give the people what they want
You gotta give the people what they want
Blow out your brains, and do it right
Make sure it's prime time and on a Saturday night.
You gotta give the people what they want
You gotta give the people what they want
Give the people what they want
Give the people what they want
Give the people what they want

And all those "Con-servatives" getting off on it all!!
Hilarious!
