The left isn't celebrating America anymore - what will they celebrate instead?

I wonder — how many Americans will be bothered or offended by that
greeting today? And how many more Independence Days will we celebrate as
a country? We have made it to 250, but it’s hard to imagine another
hundred. It is much easier to imagine 20 or less. 

A strong argument can be made that the left — via majority control of
the media, academia, entertainment, science and medicine — is slowly but
surely winning the messaging war. In fact, you might say they are
crushing it. 

Just look at the trend of stories online citing the fact that millions
of Americans have little or no interest in celebrating the 250th
anniversary of our nation. Or look at the rise of so-called “democratic
socialist” candidates, who look upon the country created by our Founding
Fathers as something that needs to be torn down and rebuilt from the
inside. Don’t forget about the alarming results of a recent poll showing
that more than half of Americans under age 30 said believe “democracy
isn’t essential to the country’s identity.” 

It is little wonder. Many of those young Americans grew up believing,
after years of being taught in school, that our Founding Fathers were
White supremacists and evil slave-owners from the privileged class,
whose vision, courage and sacrifice must now be reexamined, rewritten
and largely swept into the dustbin of history. 

But it’s not just young people. In a recent Beacon Research-Shaw and
Company Research-Fox News poll, Americans were split over America 250.
Fifty-one percent of registered voters said they were excited for the
250th anniversary, while 49 percent said they were not. It is a result
that would have been shocking before the Trump era; now it is the
accepted norm. 

As this evolution in viewing the history and meaning of our nation
the left pick to replace the Fourth of July? 

Will it be May 1, International Workers’ Day? That is the day chosen by
communist leaders and countries to honor the labor movement, the working
class, and the ideological triumph of socialism. Will some on the left
want to switch out the names of Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and
Benjamin Franklin to celebrate instead Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin,
Mao Zedong, Fidel Castro or Pol Pot? 

Or will those who are suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome lean
toward Jan. 20, 2029, because that will be the last day of the Trump
presidency? 

As the Fourth of July and the history of our Founding Fathers — one I
wrote about in my book, “The 56” — continues to wither under the
constant smears from the left, it is natural to wonder what those who
revile the the birth of our nation and the dead white men behind it will
glorify in their place? If the current trend continues, we may find out
much sooner than later.
