The Semi-Quint Centennial

OK.

Most of us live the USA enough to want to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence wholeheartedly. 

We would also like to prevent Trump from interfering with the celebration in any way; that's what is needed to encourage any celebrity artists to come celebrate with us.  On the other hand, we don't want to concentrate all the talent in one spot.  That might be too much of a temptation for maniacal MAGA people to come visiting with their fancy firearms. 

One possibility would be to focus on local celebrations only.  This would be depressing, for such an important anniversary, when we would have been expected to have an enormous gathering.  But what are we to do?  If we had all gone to the polls, and prevented Trump from stealing the election, and put our energy behind Kamala Harris, things would be very different today.  But there are a great many "Never Kamala" people among our fellow liberals, and some of them Never.a.woman,.anyway people.  To give them their due, they were probably making a pathetic calculation, thinking: "nobody else will vote for a woman, so let's not waste our votes."

We could actually have a location in which to all gather.  Central Park in New York City; some spacious location in Minneapolis; somewhere in Texas; those sorts of places.  Would be easy to have ICE come in and cause havoc.  I wonder whether armed liberals are itching for a armed confrontation, but that would feed into Trump's desire to mobilize the armed services.  But we have to think of all the angles, and start planning now.
