RCP's Tom Bevan notes what celebrations have and haven't been canceled in Evanston, IL

The word “priorities” gets thrown around in a super-sarcastic sense quite often these days, and deservedly so, but it’s rarely been more called for than with this tweet from Real Clear Politics’ Tom Bevan:

My home town of Evanston, Illinois is having a Juneteenth Parade and a Gay Pride Parade, but is cancelling the 4th of July Parade & Fireworks. pic.twitter.com/KFhJ335LEl

Over 90 percent of Evanston voters went for Biden in last year’s election.

Priorities, you know. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

In some areas, unfortunately, it is.

Of course. Erasing our history is part of their goals. https://t.co/yU2gOJTvQW

It’s almost like the goal is to destroy this country and replace it with one that hopelessly woke. https://t.co/nGPH546Akl

Apparently the city of Evanston has replaced the usual 4th events with a “virtual” Independence Day celebration:

Wouldn’t it be a shame if everybody turned out for its own in-person “unsanctioned” 4th of July celebration anyway?
