I, for one, do not feel celebratory and I don't need to be told I should feel otherwise.

I don't share your optimism, and I see little to cheer about in the current climate.

When Trump is in jail, his kkkult dissolved, congress has a Democratic majority, and we've broken the KKKonservative strangehold on the SCOTUS, then I'll start to feel like celebrating.

as it is, they've nearly cemented their fascist control.

In 12 months, I'll gladly apologize if I'm wrong. But I don't share the pollyanna attitude of some.

Mass shootings almost daily does not make me happy. Our rights to women snapped back to the 16th century does not make me feel included. It may be just me.

That my girlfriend and I in the future cannot marry and our sexual relations will be deemed illegal by the state? Yeah I'm not enjoying any 4th anymore. I have nothing to enjoy.
