They say they're defending democracy and freedom. Here's what I wrote in response to a similar sentiment on Instapundit: Assuming the Declaration of Independence was about independence, you have to wonder how it promotes independence to (1) regulate sugar intake by controlling Big Gulp size, then doing a 180 and declaring that "fat is beautiful," such that any anti-fat language must be bigotry; (2) enact hate-speech laws or even bandy about the very concept of hate speech; (3) erase female achievements by forcing upon the population the notion that "trans women are women" and not biologically male; (4) enforce an ambient, oppressive cancel culture that squeezes the life out of speech and thought; (5) call black conservatives race traitors, n*ggers, Uncle Toms, etc.; (6) defy the will of the people by keeping Donald Trump off certain state ballots in your desperation to stop the man. I could go on, but you get the idea: to claim you're a patriot cleaving to principles of independence, you first need to believe people should be independent. Maybe start by—oh, I don't know—leaving the rest of us the fuck alone. |

About the Christmas 1963 versus 2023 meme. Kennedy was killed in November 1963. I don't think he posed like that with Jackie in December.
I thought about deleting that meme, based on what you said, but the error is so funny (I'm imagining Kennedy posing for that pic with a large chunk of his head missing) that I'm going to leave the meme alone.
