Happy 4th of July, everyone! I have great news.

Last night I worked the fireworks show in Sebastopol, California. For those that don't know this is literally the bluest county in the bluest state. This is where all the hippies retired.

As I was walking in we had protestors for the second year. Five awful old women, precisely the type you'd expect, lined the way into the show.

Everyone glared or jeered. No one had anything nice to say. I was...not kind myself.

Later that evening Sweet Home Alabama was played by a local band, and two AWFLs (Affluent White Female Leftists) came up to complain to me that the song was racist.

They're reasoning?

The Confederacy! And it mocks Neil Young.

I told them Neil's over it, since the song is over fifty years old, and it doesn't mention the Confederacy. If they don't like the music, they could leave.

If they wanted to continue making a scene, then I could go get the police and have them trespassed from the event.

The crowd laughed. I get that's the and they all clapped meme, but I mean it, the crowd thought what I did was hilarious.

The two AWFLs retreated to their plastic cups of wine, and were silent for the rest of the show.

People are all done with leftists and their nonsense, especially on our nation's 250th birthday. It's the most hopeful sign I've seen in a while, and I wanted to share.

Our whole town is starting to walk away. People are done being bullied with words like racism.

One segment was about a company that makes American flags with an emphasis on the multicultural staff working at the factory. Not a bad segment on it’s own.

Another was an African themed celebration with traditional African music and garb. People wearing and displaying the pan-African flag. No stars-and-stripes in sight.

Another about Latino influence on American, with gems like “1/3 of America used to be Mexico” and “we didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us.”

Another about Thomas Jefferson being a slave owner.
