What the 250th anniversary of our country could be for those too young to remember 1976 [View all]

From a poster on bluesky, idahobob: "I remember as a boy in 1976 the whole neighborhood turned out, painting fire hydrants as little revolutionary war dudes and the declaration of independence came through town on a special train. It was for everyone and not a political party in sight."

I was a little girl, and I remember wearing red, white and blue to our county fair and carrying a flag around proudly. In fact, I can remember passer bys laughing at me because I was marching and saluting, but I knew it was in good fun. There wasn't a hint of partisanship. I can attest to that.

Anyone else have memories of 1976 celebrations and how they differ from today's trump organized debacle?
