There must be some type of large scale lobotomization programs under way.
Edit: grilling and drinking and hanging with friends is not celebrating the holiday, it's just having a party.
Celebrating the 4th of July means like the lib bougie civic-minded patriots who buy little flags and wave them and shit and think about how great america is (these are the zombies I was talking about: the nerd ass people who are still generically patriotic but not fash/chuds in this current political environment). Then there are the fash/chuds who celebrate it because "murica #1" and "we kill the most people" and "we just outlawed roe vs wade" etc etc.
Getting drunk and exploding shit with your friends is fun. It's the same shit as christmas for not crhistians in america
