All hate, all the time
/In an echo of the tradition created by Jefferson, President Barack Obama invited military families on July 4, 2009, for an Independence Day celebration featuring a six-song set from the Foo Fighters. Again in 2016, he opened the gates for the South by South Lawn (SXSL) festival. In partnership with South by Southwest (SXSW), the event converted the entire executive space into a collaborative arts festival, cementing the White House lawn as the nation’s ultimate public forum.
How DARE Americans celebrate America with strength and competition?! We should be apologizing for being so awesome and racist or something. We don't know; we can't keep these mouth-breathing whiners straight.
You know who used to host fight night at the White House?

I keep seeing people call this UFC event ‘embarrassing,’ yet none of them can actually explain why.

What exactly is shameful about one of the most popular sports in America being held on the National Mall and White House grounds to celebrate our country’s 250th anniversary? pic.twitter.com/ttUlUk1XW4
It's not just the UFC event that's freaking the haters out; it's everything and anything that is joyous and patriotic. Lights? THEY'RE BLINDING PILOTS (this is BS, BTW)! Fireworks! THAT'S A WASTE OF MONEY. Motorcross? THAT'S TRASHY.
Perhaps if we were tearing down statues, crapping on the sidewalks, and leaving drug needles everywhere, they'd be happier?
It's kind of amazing that for 2 years roving gangs of leftists walked around society tearing down public monuments and lighting things on fire, and it got absorbed into the background of society and treated as though it were just another unremarkable feature of everyday life. https://t.co/39u6R5gES4
