250 YEARS AMERICA —1776 * 2026— Image of a U.S. stylized flag and the Statue of Liberty in the center

Can’t help thinking about the cycles of empire and the average lifespan of empires and that it’s the USA’s 250th anniversary and all the corruption and decadence around me that too many are ok with.

Who knew?

Exceptionalism turned out average.

Tacky! Ugly!

Saw an ad for ugly baseball caps to celebrate the US 250th anniversary in 2026.

How tacky? How ugly?

Looked like something DJT would sell to the MAGA faithful. Made in China.

I’m sure there’ll be more cheap crap the closer we get to 2026. Much more!
