I lived in DC during Tea Party days. Funny how the daily crowds of obese rednecks from Potterville would jam the public transit to protest what? The very government that enabled public transit for their protest, Medicaid which enabled them to be alive and the right to protest which, tbh, they preferred guns. In those days I realized how monumentally stupid much of the country was. The movie Idiocracy came out around this time, at least that’s when I saw it. Depressing

@goatrodeo@mstdn.social of note, firearms are not allowed on the mall for any of the 250th events and cerebrations. There has been such strict security with a perimeter (and even tickets required to view the fireworks from the Mall) this year, you can’t even bring a metal water bottle, a cooler, or your own food @deirdresm@hachyderm.io
