Save Independence Day. It is clear to me that the left has embarked on a campaign to reduce Independence Day to nothing more than a meaningless "holiday". The push is to elevate Juneteenth to a holiday that is more meaningful. Over the last week I have noticed a concerted effort in the media to downplay Independence Day. Even a lot of conservative people are referring to it as the Fourth of July. Push back against this movement and only refer to it as Independence Day. Remember, those that control the language control the battle sphere.
Calling Independence Day the Fourth of July goes back to the founding. The terms, in the United States, are interchangeable. It’s not some new trend pushed by the woksters.
It’s not like in Canada where Dominion Day was renamed Canada Day.
Thanks. Others mentioned that as well.
"Patriot Month" works too. It's our time to celebrate our heritage and remember those brave men and women who fought (and continue to fight) for the freedoms we have today.
We wanted to claim back the word "pride." It was co-opted by the Left and has some negative connotations. We are just showing that we are proud of our country and its legacy.
Great ideas!
Here are some more:
I’ve always called it Independence Day.
Also, my birthday.
Haapppy Birthday!
Thank you.
We could make July 4th like Juneteenth and start shooting people for no particular reason but I prefer the fireworks.
