Every single blue state needs to do this...
“Unfortunately, due to the high cost to taxpayers and not being able to secure PA businesses to sponsor the booth, Pennsylvania will not be a participant in the Great American State Fair,” stated a spokesperson for PA's Department of Community and Economic Development.
While the 16-day taxpayer-funded bonanza is ostensibly designed to celebrate America's 250th anniversary, it's painfully obvious that the entire affair is just another pathetic attempt to flatter Trump's ego. Freedom 250, the group organizing the event on behalf of the President, has insisted that it's "nonpartisan" with a "track record of collaboration."
But Trump himself has already let the cat out of the bag.
He launched the fair with one of his characteristically divisive speeches on the National Mall and plans on holding a full-blown MAGA rally on July 4th at the Lincoln Memorial before the fireworks show. If you think for a moment that that speech will be anything other than a semi-coherent rant torching Democrats and touting his imagined achievements, you haven't been paying attention. This man is pathologically incapable of uniting this country.
“This President routinely makes patriotism partisan and personal—and it shouldn’t be that way,” said Pennsylvania Governor Shapiro.
“It reflects this sad state of affairs that we find ourselves in — that the President has politicized this to a degree that businesses don’t want to participate,” he said.
Pennsylvania joins seven other Democratically-led states that will not be participating in this farce of an event. The others are Connecticut, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Oregon, and Washington.
We commend these states for standing up to the White House. Americans can't afford groceries and Trump wants to burn through more of our tax dollars on yet another pointless, bloated tribute to his failed presidency. Enough is enough.
Please like and share to urge the other states to boycott!
