The fact that you woke up right as they started feels like DC continuing a conversation with you that was started in 2023. Back and forth, rebuttal after rebuttal.
I was watching the fireworks via livestream - out of a desire to see this thing that was going to choke our skies, more than anything. I thought of how close you were, and I thought of the staggering number of fireworks I had read were set to blow - 100 times DC's normal display, so I read somewhere. idk if that's accurate.
As I watched, the cameras kept cutting between a limp cover performance by service members, the only people who wouldn't be able to back out of the show; and audience members. A lot of them looked tired, ready to go home. There were some shots of kids who didn't know what they were in the middle of. Some shots of MAGA hats, one or two with a hijab. I kept looking at their faces and asking things a lot like what you did in 2024. What world are these people living in? What do they think we're celebrating, and why do they want to? In some cases, the answer is emblazoned on their Trumper regalia, but in others - in the faces of the people there whose identities I couldn't read in their regalia - it was a mystery.
What stage of the hallucination are you in, to be in that crowd, to cheer for fireworks that light up the city like a warzone and plunge DC and parts of two states into a red alert air quality emergency, all to stroke the president's ego? Before the show started, the livestream camera was focused in his private box, watching him as he watched a FOX news report where a slightly different camera angle from the same press area showed him looking at himself. That's who all that cheering is for, even if the people cheering don't know it.
