Sharing some independent thoughts here on this eve of the Fourth of July: While America is far from perfect, the ideals of democracy/republicanism are guiding principles toward a more perfect union. Embracing our nation’s history and learning from it to do better are imperative. So, while Americans will acknowledge tomorrow as the Fourth of July—the day of Independence, there will also be far too many using their vote to return to the type of rule that America sought to shake itself from. So please consider what you are voting for, especially as you partake in tomorrow's recognition of our independence.

This article is part of a series from the Center for American Progress exposing how the sweeping Project 2025 policy agenda would harm all Americans. This new authoritarian playbook, published by the Heritage Foundation, would destroy the 250-year-old system of checks and balances upon which U.S. democracy has relied and give far-right politicians, judges, and corporations more control over Americans’ lives. https://lnkd.in/eh8N3bZY

2moThank you for posting this, Cornelius. I cannot help, though, but be reminded of Fredereick Douglass' speech where in 1852 he asks, "What to the slave is the fourth of July?" Here is James Earl Jones as he performs the speech. https://youtu.be/iZDcB1NhMfo?si=3QluGxOV__V15pri
