If Democrats are in power in your city/state, it means your population voted for them.

Bro, fireworks are symbolic. AND SYMBOLS AREN'T THE THING.
If you're a high schooler, learn that. If you're a high school or college graduate, give your diploma back.

America is losing its way, not because of Covid19. It’s because of the same old weakness that a great many societies have had for giving away their brains to loud-mouthed preachers and demagogues who promise great things but never deliver. These people fail to understand how all of the great progress that humanity has made has been achieved through reason and cooperation. We had a great run once religion and state were separated but now they’re being commingled because a lot of people have, once again, been willing to give away their brains to loud mouthed preachers and demagogues.
That's accurate, if you realize that for many people, especially in fundamentalist Christian communities, politics is essentially the same as religion -- i.e, if you attempt to show a political view is unsupported by facts, they perceive it as an almost violent attack on their entire reason for being and/or way of life.
You could just as well say the same thing about critical studies and left wing politics. You didn’t take many classes in the the humanities and social sciences, did you?
America is more than a Fourth of July celebration. Get a grip.
As for the posters claiming that people are using the virus to take down America, the liberals didn't invent to virus and are suffering just as much from the shutdown. The whole point of the shutdown is to avoid a greater number of deaths and greater long term and recurring damage to the economy.
That's okay. I guess I'll have to double up on my personal collection this year.

Nah, Bush1, Clinton, Bush2, Obama all tried to bring America down and into the NWO. They were so close, if Hillary was President, we'd all be marked with Bill Gates' vaccine/digital-ID already. Rumor is Bush1 was really executed, and they've all been found guilty by military tribunal for treason and crimes against humanity, and are scheduled for execution in 2021, after Trump wins 2020:

A few good reasons:
1) As noted in the article, they are in fear that they pay now and then have to cancel thus expending taxpayer money.
2) Cities may be seeing a loss of revenue from tax receipts and hotel taxes and looking at cost cutting measures. It is fiscally sound.
Yeah yeah yeah. Next week they will use the same "reasons" to cancel Christmas
Typical triggered snowflake. Try harder.

No, not many. Mostly engineering classes.
But I know the demographic you are trying to characterize, and I think it's smaller than the one I mentioned, and they have much less to do with America losing it's way. While attempts to show some of their political views are unsupported by facts are often met with bogus accusations of racism, sexism, etc., they don't have quite that same deep desire to feel offended or persecuted/attacked as fundamentalist Christians. There is nothing that makes a fundamentalist Christian happier than convincing themselves they're being persecuted, which they seem to be able to do with practically any political comment, no matter how accurate or even how benign.

Good - it's an extreme waste of money for taxpayers. I know that a lot of folks like them, but they do roughly cost $1-10 million for a big show. Even small-towns typically spend well over $100,000. The money would best be spent elsewhere. Dogs, cats, and infants would rejoice.
But I agree to cancel local things 3 months away, in general, is premature. However, they might be cancelled because they need the money they'd use to put on the event on fighting the epidemic - if that's the reason, it's warranted.

A dumb post. But you get credit for having an entertaining brand of insanity.
No. Most of the people who are out of work are Republicans. 50 million Democrats on welfare are unaffected and every actor, musician, news anchor, pro athlete, and tech company CEO has more money than they can ever spend.

So maybe you should go back to living like people in a pre-industrial society. No cars, planes, internet, smart phones... You could always join an Amish community.

The cowardice of Americans is really starting to become breathtaking. Thank goodness this generation of Americans never had to go up against the Nazis or the Soviets. They would have just had to threaten us and most of would be curling up in a ball in a corner pleading for mercy.

Or put another way, those democratic cities use science and advice of experts to make informed choices instead of following an uninformed, science denying, asshat. Further, these democratic cities and communities are the lifeblood of our economy. Do the research, the blue coasts make all the money while the red center sucks off coasts.
That attitude right there is the EXACT reason why the Democratic Party has failed: They don't give a rat's ass about blue collar, working people anymore. People who live in so called "flyover states" and who work hard to make ends meet. Those people matter too.
The elitism and arrogance of your post is truly astonishing.
No, science is a useful tool for sure. Just not a God. Can you fathom? Its not that hard.
