For my fellow Boomers - do you remember 1975-1976 - and the hype of the Bi-Centennial?

Anybody else kind of surprised how little hype there is for the 250th anniversary?

Oh don't get me wrong -we went nuts with red/white/blue advertising and it was actually as commercial as Christmas has become.

Just a little curious why the difference.

Whatcha think?

It’s only the bi and a half centennial.

And nationalism has tainted patriotism.

@Stuffy Patriotism still exists because of Nationalism. The woke cancel culture on the left wants to destroy any significance of the Semiquincentennial

@TexChik I believe one can love their country without thinking it’s better than all others nor thinking of what’s best only of their own country. You’re wrong about what the left wants.

@Stuffy Why would I care what is best for other countries? Run on down to Iran and tell me how well you are treated.
