July 4th does not need to be a United States holiday, and can be a world holiday.

July 4th does not need to be a United States holiday, and can be a world holiday.

Independence from Great Britain is the world's most widely celebrated holiday (e. after new years, source https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2026/02/12/which-countries-have-the-most-and-fewest-public-holidays/). July 4th is when they happen to celebrate this world holiday in the US. Therefore, people who do not believe the US is currently worth celebrating, can instead celebrate the worldwide holiday Independence Day.

E. Just so we are clear, I am advocating residents of any country to celebrate their own and other country's independence days, or to simply celebrate "Independence" as a concept whenever their own country's independence day comes around, without necessarily having to celebrate their current government. This is to allow US liberals and centrists to celebrate to avoid negative messaging which could in turn disenfranchise them in elections, without forcing them to endorse their nation, which is a concern US centrist liberals have expressed online several times.
