While being far less consequential in terms of peoples lives and well-being, seeing TRUMP 2020 inscribed over the Washington Monument in a fireworks display for the Republican National Convention is the most blatant.
When Obama bathed the White House in Rainbow Colors in 2015 I bet you had a different reaction
That’s such a stupid comparison.
Why?
Obama lighting up the White House with rainbow colors was as a show of inclusion and a tribute to the worth and dignity of some previously discriminated against people. Trump lighting up the sky was a tribute to Trump. He's gauche.
Except Obama’s appropriation of the White House had nothing to do with the Supreme Court decision that denied a sizable chunk of American citizenry any voice in a fundamental change in our society.
The fireworks of Trump 2020 were not attached to any DC building and can easily be denied at the voting booth.
