I feel like a lot the reason for this is likely tied to the DOGE cuts that cut funds for local and state authorities. 250th anniversary plans all over the US were cancelled because their funds were cut. So nowhere around town did I see any signs or anything celebrating our 250th anniversary. The local 4th of July fireworks show was very underwhelming this year as well.
Like I knew it was our 250th anniversary, but I never truly realized it until afterwards. I realized that the reason for that was that there was no hype over it, no build up or anything.
There were things planned, but then the orange skidmark was making it all about HIM, and (normal) people checked the fuck out. I think normal people just got a sick feeling in their stomach when they realized this stupid ape would be in the WH during the 250th anniversary.
