Progressives, and other leftists here in the United States, demonstrate a very open and deep loathing for the founding principles of the United States. They have been on a decades long mission to transform the United States from a Constitutional Republic, built upon individual rights and freedoms, into to socialist Democracy built upon collectivism.
These collectivists have been using the fictional 1619 Project to erase Independence Day as the founding date of our nation. They are trying to erase the fact that the United Sates was built on freedom and liberty. They want to concentrate all attention on slavery and away from all of the positives this great nation has achieved.
Juneteenth is another effort similar to the the 1619 project. Most Americans are still unaware of what Juneteenth is all about. This article provides a great explanation: Juneteenth becomes federal holiday after Biden signs bill (cnbc.com)
Juneteenth celebrates the emancipation of the last enslaved African Americans. On that day in 1865, Union soldiers led by Gen. Gordon Granger arrived in the coastal city of Galveston, Texas, to deliver General Order No. 3, officially ending slavery in the state.
The final act of liberation came months after the Confederate army’s surrender ended the Civil War, and more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation.
On the surface Juneteenth seems rather innocuous and actually maybe positive. This article, however, documents the sinister motivation behind the holiday: Juneteenth Threatens America’s Civic Traditions (thefederalist.com)
The very name of the legislation is incredibly revealing. Referring to it as a “National Independence Day” — as opposed to the Fourth of July, America’s original Independence Day, that doesn’t enjoy the “national” language — is semantic manipulation intended to convey that this is the real independence day. This bestowal of honor on Juneteenth is an exercise in refounding the country in accordance with the priorities of the intersectional identitarian left (e.g., direct democracy, expansive legal privileges for preferential political groups, and the weaponization of government against “bitter clingers”) in the pursuit of casting aside the few remaining constitutional and republican norms of the American founding such as a societal reverence for natural law and federalism.
Those of us on the political right need to stand tall and prevent the left from replacing our true Independence Day with Juneteenth. We need to stand strong for our nation and our founding principles.
