This Memorial Day is so difficult. 47's face dominates the news.
This is a day to celebrate our commitment to the Four Freedoms. Perhaps there are events where the truth of the state of our nation is being told, but all I see in newsfeeds are MAGA/47 dominated "observances" that are horrifying to me.
All I can say is this: Our commitment to the four freedoms will not die
I refuse to believe that Americans of good will will allow 47 and the forces of tyranny to end our 75 year commitment to the four freedoms and commitment to the defense of allies that share those fundamental values.
AI summary:
According to available data, a vast majority of American families, likely exceeding 90%, would have a parent, grandparent, or great-grandparent who served in World War II, as over 16 million Americans served during the war, representing a significant portion of the population at the time.
Anyone defending (or worse, celebrating) the regime's destruction of the infrastructure through which our will is made manifest, attack on our allies, and embrace of war criminals and tyrants needs to be reminded that they are shitting all over the sacrifices of generations, and showing utter disdain for those in their own families who made those sacrifices.

2. Freedom to do any damn thing you want
3. Freedom to run business with zero regulations and taxes
4. Freedom from "Government" even if that means taking it over by lies and coercion.

(11,232 posts)I know there are millions of people out there committed to finding our own ways preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States against the 47 regime. Somehow, I had hoped that on this day of remembrance more of those voices would be heard above the MAGA noise.
In the next month, I hope we figure out how to get louder and OWN July 4. We need a declaration of independence from our current mad king and his tyrannical abuses.
