When I was much younger, I was thrilled when July 4th came around since it almost always meant the family would go out that evening to witness the spectacle of an awesome fireworks display. Sometimes there was also homemade vanilla ice cream to enjoy. The meaning of the holiday was something we all knew, but wasn't the focal point provided by the fireworks show and the ice cream.
Many years have passed since those days, and some members of the family are no longer among the living. It's too hot for an outdoor fireworks show, and I haven't eaten homemade ice cream in years. As far as the patriotic significance of the date? I can't wave the flag while Trumplickans are working relentlessly to reverse a hundred years or so of American progress and replace democracy with fascism and theocracy.
I might think about flag-waving again when bottom-feeders like Duhmp, Moscow Mitch, Rafael Cruz, Empty Greene, Bim Boebert, Slimy Sammy Alito, and Clearance Sale Thomas are paying a steep price for the damage they've done.
