In every century in American history, the patriots of our armed services have risen to defend democracy and freedom during extraordinary crises.
In the 18th century, Americans fought for independence from a tyrant king.
In the 19th century, Americans fought a civil war to uphold the proposition that all people are created equal, regardless of race.
In the 20th century, Americans fought on the shores of Europe to defend democracy and freedom from the forces of fascism.
American patriots now face the crisis of our time: a traitor in the White House.
The current President of the United States has brought dishonor to America, has disrespected and abused the veterans who swore an oath to defend the Constitution, has violated his own oath of office, has allied himself with cruel dictators, has acted at every opportunity as an undemocratic tyrant, and is therefore unfit to be the president of a free people.
On June 6th, the Anniversary of D-Day, we call on all patriotic people of Massachusetts to assemble on Boston Common with veterans to protest the tyranny of a would-be king and to honor the sacrifice of the brave soldiers who fought and died for the democracy we must continue to protect.
You have much stronger feelings about this than I do, especially since I didn't write the original blurb in the post body to begin with ๐
We're just trying to get people amped up to resist our current regime, and I suspect the person who wrote that was trying to tap into that classic and slightly cringe 'Rah rah, America!" patriotism that we're so well known for.
I get that, but the messaging is not great, for one event involved a King as key ally, and another involved lies about a king bringing about a bloody civil war in America. ::shrug::
I won't argue the Revolutionary war, but in my opinion, in WW1 and WW2 the UK was in practice a parliamentary democracy, even if it was/is 'officially' a constitutional monarchy.
In practice, it was in the 18th Century too for the most part. The prospect of height reassignment surgery has an effect on a King.
