Jonah Goldberg: What’s Tragic About the 250 Celebration Is It‘s All Being Done Through the Prism of Either the Trump Cult or Partizan Politics in General

RUSH EXCERPT:
GOLDBERG: "I think it does feel different, but I think you‘re on to something that as you get older, you realize how grateful and how much gratitude you should have for this country, and you get more nostalgic about what a great country it is. And so that‘s going to show up in the polls. I also think I think one of the things that‘s sort of tragic about the 250 celebration, including stuff like Mamdani prebuttal, is it‘s all being done through the prism of either the Trump cult of personality or partizan politics in general. And so people see this stuff, the sort of whether they think it‘s corny or whether they think it‘s partizan, they see it as not really clicking about being authentic and sincere about America. The upside is the reaction to the world cup and the world cup tourists who. It‘s this weird sort of like reacting agent where I think one of the reasons why so many Americans love to see how much tourists like buc-ee‘s and that kind of thing. Right. And like free refills and think we‘re just a neat, fun, decent country with nice people in it is you can‘t fold it into any. You can‘t fold it into any partisanship. Right. You can‘t make it into a sort of either corny or fake or insincere thing. It‘s just like, we‘re nice people, we‘re good people. And the politics stuff. Matt."
