We are two days away from Mr. trump's obscene look at me gesture disguised as a 4th of July celebration in Washington.
I am not quite sure when Fascism came to America, but it's here. Showing off tanks and military equipment in the streets so that citizens can cheer on your military might is what they do in countries being run by dictators and despots. Maybe that's why Mr. trump is so dead set on turning America's birthday into something else. Something sinister, scary, and antithetical to everything that Americans believe in. Clearly he has a thing for dictators.
What he is planning for Washington is exactly what a dictator would do: Make a celebration meant to celebrate the birth of our nation a partisan event, and try to score political brownie points in the process.
The scary thing is that the event will be bad not only for the locals in Washington, but the astronomic cost of it will effect all of us taxpayers. Also, the park services, to meet the cost of Mr. trump's 4th of July stunt, will have to divert over 2.5 million in fees from parks all over the country to cover the cost of Mr. trump's 4th of July spectacle.
Mr. trump has ordered his generals to stand by his side, and he has planned a political speech to thousands of his supporters who will be given VIP tickets to look at their hero. This, of course, is unprecedented. This day is supposed to be about America, not one political party, but try telling that to Mr. trump and his minions.
Someone might want to try telling Mr. trump that showing off a bunch of military equipment and having a bunch of generals suck up to him in front of his cult does not a make America powerful;hat makes us powerful is our respect for that document called the Constitution, and our respect for the freedoms that comes with living here.
Military parades , phony patriotism, and a partisan political speech should be the last thing Americans see on the 4th of July. Instead, the crazy uncle in the attic will make an appearance, and we are all going to suffer as a result.
